Acoustic Properties of Axial and Centrifugal Flow Left Ventricular Assist Devices and Prediction of Pump Thrombosis.
To characterize the properties of the audible tones produced by current left ventricular assist device (LVAD) pumps approved for use, and to ascertain if changes in those may be present in the setting of pump thrombosis. ⋯ A consistent pattern of fundamental and harmonic frequencies is common to all LVADs currently approved for use. Alterations in the amplitude of higher order harmonics may signal the onset of pump thrombosis in axial flow LVADs.
