摘要: We have developed and evaluated a prototype external pulse train stimulator for use with new technique of circulatory assistance. This involves the skeletal muscle (latissimus dorsi) wrapped around thoracic aorta as an entirely autologous extra-aortic counterpulsation system. The has been successful in initiating both contraction at desired part cardiac cycle (diastole) necessary fibre-type transformation required long-term work (fatigue resistance). background to development early haemodynamic results are described this paper. evaluation design areas future discussed.
