Increased VA-ECMO Pump Speed Reduces Left Atrial Pressure: Insights from a Novel Biventricular Heart Model
Interventricular interactions and the Frank-Starling mechanism can be simulated in a physical, biventricular MCL. In their presence, the effects of VA-ECMO on LAP are mitigated, with LAP reduction and stabilization at maximal VA-ECMO speeds.
