Their operating range is delineated by suction and regurgitation events, leaving limited control on the cardiac workload. This study investigates whether different ratios of systolic/diastolic support are advantageous over a constant-speed operation.en600 - Technology::610 - Medicine & healtharticle10.7892/boris.118442268918500031382930003210.1093/ejcts/ezs299
