Solutions:
– Implant an artificial heart
– Genetic engineering??
Efforts are wide spread to develop a
Ventricular Assist Device (VAD) or a Total
Artificial Heart (TAH).

Specific Aims:
Pump Mapping: This involves recording the necessary
data for each respective impeller/housing
configuration. There are 17 configurations currently
tested. More will be done as time permits.
Modify Program: The empirical data recorded will be
used to modify an existing program to accurately
predict pump performance based upon impeller
geometry, fluid properties, and rotational speed (to
be done at UA).
Impeller Design: The design program could be used
to design improved impellers (to be done at UA)
(Specific aims continued)
– Build the actual test loop. The old test loop leaked.
