Representative data segment from animal study. (a) Change in rotational speed corresponding to the speed pulse. The rotational speed drops to the lowest operational setting in order to induce an impulse-like input to the vasculature. (b) Aortic pressure as measured from the Impella placement signal has a change in pressure that corresponds to the rapid speed change. With lower Impella speed there is lower mean arterial pressure but higher pulse pressure.
