Waveform Parameters | Preimplantation | TAH Support | P Value |
---|---|---|---|
n | 20 | 25 | |
PSV cm/second | 87.37 (34.87) | 113.33 (46.53) | .4 |
EDV cm/second | 34.67 (7.37) | 58.83 (28.20) | .2 |
MFV cm/second | 50.86 (12.31) | 79.69 (32.33) | .1 |
PI | 1.05 (.56) | .74 (.14) | .2 |
Note: Numbers are reported as mean (standard deviation) unless otherwise specified.
EDV = end diastolic velocity; MFV = mean flow velocity; n = number of transcranial Doppler studies; PI = pulsatility index; PSV = peak systolic velocity; TAH = total artificial heart.
