Mechanical circulatory support: circuits and flow accounting
On VA-ECMO the weak LV is distended with a high wedge pressure. Adding an LV-to-aorta microaxial pump will:

Inspect beats and technical detailsbeat selection, transient versus settled, timings
Early beats after a change are transient: the circulation is still re-balancing. A beat is called settled when three consecutive windows agree within the tolerance. Playback speed only moves the cursor over the finished simulation; it never changes the heart rate.

Baseline
No baseline is set.
Comparison snapshots
Keep up to three snapshots of states you want to compare with the baseline and the current state.
