[A pneumatic drive for the artificial heart apparatus with improved energy characteristics]

It has been shown in the present work that if gas compressibility is to be regarded as a reversible effect of energy accumulation, it can be used both for enhancing the pneumatic drive efficiency and maintenance of the goal-oriented self-control of the artificial heart apparatus on the whole. Such self-control provides an opportunity of realizing not only the pump functional characteristics of the apparatus, similar to the analogous parameters of the natural heart, but also of maintaining the reproduction of the other regulatory properties based on the interaction between the left and the right ventricles.
