Article Synopsis
- Medical advancements in devices that help the heart (like VADs) are helping people with heart failure feel better, but there are still some risks, like strokes or bleeding.
- This study focuses on using computer simulations to better understand how these devices work with the heart and to improve their design for safety and effectiveness.
- Researchers found that using smaller time steps and larger mesh sizes in simulations made a big difference in how accurately they could predict the device's performance, which can help doctors provide better treatment for patients.
Ventricular assist devices (VADs) are used to assist the heart function of patients with advanced heart failure. Computational fluid dynamics in VADs are widely applied in the development and optimization, for example, to evaluate blood damage. For these simulations, the pulsating operating conditions, in which the VAD operates, should be included accurately.
