ARTIFICIAL HEART CONTROL DEVICE, ARTIFICIAL HEART SYSTEM AND ARTIFICIAL HEART CONTROL METHOD

摘要

Provided is an artificial heart control device for controlling a blood pump which assists flow of blood in a heart, the artificial heart control device including: a timing detection part which is configured to detect reference timing within a cardiac cycle of the heart; and a blood pump control part which is configured to control a rotational speed of the blood pump, wherein the blood pump control part controls, with reference to the reference timing detected by the timing detection part, the rotational speed of the blood pump such that the rotational speed becomes a rotational speed corresponding to a predetermined control pattern. According to the present invention, it is possible to provide an artificial heart control device, an artificial heart system and an artificial heart control method which can provide a load control optimum for the recovery of functions of a patient's own heart.

主权项

1. An artificial heart control method for controlling a blood pump which assists flow of blood in a heart, the artificial heart control method comprising:
a timing detection step in which reference timing within a cardiac cycle of the heart is detected; and a blood pump control step in which a rotational speed of the blood pump is controlled with reference to the reference timing detected in the timing detection step such that the rotational speed becomes a rotational speed corresponding to a predetermined control pattern, wherein
the artificial heart control method further comprises an abnormality detection step in which an abnormal state when the blood pump is being controlled is detected, and in the blood pump control step, the rotational speed of the blood pump is controlled such that the rotational speed becomes a predetermined rotational speed when the abnormal state is detected in the abnormality detection step.
