In Australia, 40%(50,797) of all deaths each year are related to heart disease and accounted for 12% (A$4Billion) of total recurrent health expenditure. This innovative research aims at developing a single biventricular assist device (BVAD) driven by a magnetically suspended double-sided centrifugal pump impeller. Current techniques require two implantable devices, thus preventing smaller patients from access to BVAD technology. The expected outcomes will be a significantly small and compact device and provide an alternative to open-heart transplantation, thus helping to alleviate the demand on donor hearts, as well as the strain on the Australian Heath Care System caused by cardiovascular disease.

在澳大利亚，所有死亡人数中有40％（50,797）与心脏病有关，占复发性总支出的12％（40亿美元）。这项创新的研究旨在开发由磁悬浮的双面离心泵叶轮驱动的单个双室辅助设备（BVAD）。当前的技术需要两个可植入的设备，从而阻止较小的患者获得BVAD技术。预期的结果将是一种非常小而紧凑的装置，并提供了开放式移植的替代方案，从而有助于减轻对供体心脏的需求，以及对心血管疾病引起的澳大利亚卫生护理系统的压力。
