Abstract
Heart failure is major cause of global morbidity and mortality and is exacerbated by renal hypo-perfusion leading to worsening congestion. Increasing cardiac ouput, reducing cardiac workload, and increasing renal perfusion are major objectives for heart failure management. We explored the hemodynamic effect of a micro-axial flow pump (Aortix) positioned in the abdominal aorta above the renal arteries in a model of ischemic heart failure.
