Correspondence: Response to effects of pre-load variations on hemodynamic parameters with a pulsatile autoregulated artificial heart during the early post-operative period

We thank Dr. Bizouarn and colleagues for their interest in our publication1 and welcome their efforts in working towards meeting the public healthcare need for the treatment of advanced heart failure. The article Effects of pre-load variations on hemodynamic parameters with a pulsatile autoregulated artificial heart during the early post-operative period details the first clinical case using the Carmat Total Artificial Heart (C-TAH) with auto-mode functioning.2 Utilizing it in clinical practice was interesting, given that SynCardia Total Artificial Heart (TAH) also aims to operate under a similar mechanism with full eject parameters.
