Summary
A new less invasive method for estimating the maximum elastance (E max ) of the ventricle under cardiac assistance without direct measurement of the left ventricular volume and pressure has been developed. The key technique is to estimate the angular frequency, identifying the value of E max in the three-element Windkessel model. Numerical simulations were used to examine the adequacy of the method. However, an in vivo experiment demonstrated that the estimation error must be reduced for application of the method to clinical use.
