Abstract
The C-Pulse® system is a non-blood contacting, non-obligatory assist device implanted externally on the ascending aorta and is based on the principle of counterpulsation. Algorithms based on R-wave detection increase coronary blood ow during diastole and reduce arterial impedance during systole with potential bene ts on diastolic function and improved coupling of the ventricle and arterial system. Optimization of C-Pulse timing can be performed during acute ON/OFF interventions. Purpose
