Table 2.
Preload sensitivity and cardiac output from the open-loop model simulation, reported at three different preload pressures (5, 10, and 20 mmHg) and for all four different conditions simulated (healthy, heart failure, heart failure with continuous flow (CF) support at 9,000 rpm, and heart failure with 30ml TORVAD counterpulse support).
