Abstract
A left ventricle assist device (LVAD) is a device composed mainly of a pump and a controller. It is used not only to save lives of patients who suffer from left ventricle failure, but also to help them live like healthy people. Due to the continuing increasing number of left ventricle heart failure cases and limited number of heart donations for heart transplant, the need for LVADs become more and more demanding.
