Our brand new controller screens for the HeartMate 3 LVAD. This shows and controls what the titanium device inside a patient’s chest is doing to support the heart. Speed=speed of device & higher is theoretically more support, to a point. Flow=amount of blood being pumped. Power=watts being drawn by device & if it goes up suddenly, you may have a problem. PI=pulsatility index, which is how much the native heart is actually pumping in its own.
