One focus for Realheart in developing the world's first artificial four-chambered heart is to get it to function as similar to the human heart as possible. This is also the aim of the computer simulation model under construction by Joseph Bornoff, a PhD student at the University of Bath, which was recently presented at a scientific conference. It is now available on the Realheart website and on YouTube.<\/strong><\/div>\n

What is special about Realheart's artificial heart is that it mimics the functions of the natural heart with the aim to reduce the risk of side effects. Similar to the human heart, the Realheart TAH adjusts \u2013 amongst other parameters \u2013 the heart rate and stroke volume according to the body's needs, and to achieve this flexibility it is necessary to identify the optimal settings for the control unit. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This is the purpose of the computer simulation model being built by Joseph Bornoff. It allows a very wide range of operating conditions to be examined to find the pump settings that provide the best energy efficiency and blood handling, and then use this information to program the software. Examining the same amount of operating conditions in laboratory tests would take an extremely long time and cost a lot of money, thus computer simulation saves both time and money.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019This computer simulation is very sophisticated because it involves a valve that not only opens and closes, but also moves, and has to be modelled in relation to another valve. What Joseph is doing is really at the forefront of simulation research and is both important to us and extremely exciting to partake in," says Realheart CEO Ina Laura Perkins.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Scandinavian Real Heart AB utvecklar ett komplett artificiellt hj\u00e4rta (Total Artificial Heart \u2013 TAH) f\u00f6r implantation i patienter med livshotande hj\u00e4rtsvikt. Bolagets TAH har en unik, patenterad, design som innefattar en kopiering av det naturliga m\u00e4nskliga hj\u00e4rtat. Real Hearts TAH inf\u00f6rlivar ett fyrkammarsystem (tv\u00e5 f\u00f6rmak, tv\u00e5 kamrar) vilket ger m\u00f6jlighet att generera ett fysiologiskt anpassat blodfl\u00f6de som efterliknar kroppens naturliga cirkulation. Ett koncept som \u00e4r unikt i den medicintekniska v\u00e4rlden. <\/em><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
