An axial flow blood pump includes a housing and a hollow rotor in the housing. The housing has an entrance end, an exit end, and a pump axis. The rotor has at least one spiral conveying rotor blade arranged on an inner surface of the rotor. The spiral conveying rotor blade extends toward a center of the rotor while leaving the center of the rotor open to define a central axial passage for a blood flow. The spiral conveying rotor blade has a pitch and a height that vary along the pump axis.
