Summary

This study aimed to measure normal brain blood flow patterns in people using mechanical heart pumps (like LVADs or ECMO). Researchers wanted to find target ranges to help doctors adjust pump settings and avoid brain injuries. The study was terminated early after enrolling only 6 participants, so no firm conclusions could be drawn.
