| Research Abstract |
The purposes of this study are the optimization of the design of continuous flow artificial heart and the evaluation of the regulation of the circulation during the artificial heart driving.
For the determination of antithrombogenic design of continuous flow artificial heart, we adopted flow visualization method and animal experiments using sheeps. The comparison of results of flow visualization study and animal experiments show good correlation on the sites of thrombi formation in relation to washout-holes, impeller shapes and gaps behind the impeller. This strategy shortened the duration of investigation for optimal antithrombogenic design of the continuous flow artificial heart.
The activity of autonomic nervous system was evaluated using power spectral analysis of arterial pressure waves in clinical cases with mechanical circulatory support including continuous flow blood pumps. The low frequency (0.04-0.15Hz) values representing sympathetic nerve activities were highly depressed in cases with poor clinical outcome. In animal experiments with continuous flow artificial heart, the low frequency values of arterial pressure power spectra were not depressed in spite of phasic increment of blood catecholamine levels. It means the sufficient adaptation of the circulatory status of animals for the adoption of continuous flow artificial heart. Utilization of hemodynamic data during continuous flow artificial heart driving realized the build-up of mathematical circulatory model.
By application of the results of these studies, it becomes possible to continue more efficient and reliable research for the clinical application of continuous flow artificial heart for patients with severe circulatory disorders.
