1. Steady-state performance of the soft robotic device in LHF models.
Steady-state performance of the soft robotic device in LHF models. (A to C) Plots showing aortic flow rate, peak LV pressure, and end diastolic LV pressure at baseline, at HF, and with the device actuating after 5 min of continuous operation in a coronary artery ligation model of LHF. (D to F) Plots showing aortic flow rate, peak LV pressure, and end diastolic LV pressure at baseline, at HF, and with the device actuating after 50 min of continuous operation in a coronary microvasculature occlusion model of LHF. Data are based on 15 consecutive cycles. Error bars denote ±SD. ***P <
