Оптимізація основних параметрів м’якого інтраперикардіального пристрою для підтримки насосної функції серця

– Heart transplantation remains the definitive therapy for patients with advanced heart failure; however, owing to limited donor organ availability and long wait times, intrapericardial devices to support the pumping function of the heart are a promising alternative. The paper considers the form of ventricles in the form of conic membranes, which is more in line with reali-ty. This allowed to determine the maximum stresses occurring in the walls of the ventricles, which depend on their anatomical form and level of filling with blood, thus, determine the zone of application of external pressure in the direct heart massage. Thus, the obtained results allowed to develop a more precise computer model of the lower parts of the heart, which in turn allows us to propose a new technical solution for intraperitoneal device to support the pumping function of the heart.
