When one of the heart’s natural pumps (a ventricle) does not perform well, a VAD is used to increase the amount of blood that flows through the body. Clinicians use VADs such as the HeartWare™ HVAD™ System to treat patients with. A unique parameter for monitoring exercise tolerance in this population is LVAD flow, which is the mechanical equivalent to cardiac output or stroke volume. 23 In patients with continuous flow pumps, such as the Heartmate II LVAS it is recommended by the manufacturer (Thoratec) to maintain a pump flow greater than 3 liters per minute with the.

Cardioversion/defibrillation can be performed on an LVAD patient TYPES OF CONTINUOUS FLOW LEFT VENTRICULAR ASSIST DEVICES HeartMate II™ Axial Flow Pump Speed: rpms Flow: 4 – 6 Ipm Power: 4 – 6 watts Pulsatility Index: 4 – 7 MAP: 70 – 90 mm Hg Warfarin/Aspirin Pair of Batteries = 10 – 12 hours Emergency Battery in Controller. The HeartMate II™ is Abbott's first-line intermediate-to-chronic left ventricular assist device. Designed to dramatically improve survival and quality of life, the HeartMate II™ was developed with the goal of providing circulatory support for a broad range of advanced heart failure patients. Its small size and quiet operation make the HeartMate II™ suitable for a wide range of patients, including women and those of smaller stature*.
