The rotary blood pump is implanted as a bridge to cardiac transplantation. Mechanical, histological, and biochemical improvements have been described in patients after implantation of left ventricular assist devices (LVADs). Thus, the rotary blood pump might be used as a bridge to recovery of myocardial function. However, unlike a pulsatile pump, the rotary blood pump cannot be stopped to estimate cardiac function: if the rotary blood pump stops, backflow will occur. In this study, a new method that can estimate cardiac function without pump stop was examined. Six pigs were the subjects of this acute study. The pump was implanted as an LVAD: the inlet cannula was inserted into the left ventricle, and the outlet cannula was inserted into the ascending aorta. The motor speed was regulated at a pump flow rate of 0 L/min at diastolic phase. Then, the relationship between the dp/dt of left ventricular pressure and external stroke work of actuator was examined. This method was studied at normal, hyperdynamic, and heart-failure conditions. There was a high positive correlation between the dp/dt of left ventricular pressure and external stroke work of actuator. This method is useful and simple to estimate cardiac function without pump stop.
