title: Static state hemodynamic variables estimation model for the moving-actuator type total artificial heart. Part II - Aortic pressure estimation.
abstract: Aortic pressure (AoP) estimation is a very important study for the artificial heart. In this paper, we developed a AoP estimation model for the moving-actuator type total artificial heart (MH-TAH) that was being developed at Seoul National University Hospital. The proposed model is simple and provides beat-by-beat mean AoP estimation. Moreover, it uses non-invasively acquired signals. Model parameters were adjusted with in vitro data by least mean square (LMS) algorithm. Results showed that the proposed scheme gives a mean estimation error of about 8 (mmHg). This ensures the suitability of the proposed model. The proposed approach can also be applied to the model setup of pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP) estimation by using the symmetric characteristics between AoP and PAP.
