Computational fluid dynamic analysis (CFD) have recently been applied in study the of cardiovascular system. Since the development of the first blood pumps in the early 1990’s this mathematical technique has been adopted in determining pressure-flow relationship and efficiencies before building left ventricular (LV) assist devices (LVADs) prototypes. Improvements in the functionality of these devices are desirable and for this aim CFD could be a valid tool both in projection and development.
