Mechanical support of a failing heart is typically performed with rotary blood pumps running at constant speed, which results in a limited control on cardiac workload and nonpulsatile hemodynamics. A potential solution to overcome these limitations is to modulate the pump speed to create pulses. This study aims at developing a pulsatile control algorithm for rotary pumps, while investigating its effect on left ventricle unloading and the hemodynamics.
