Abstract
BACKGROUND: The improvement of controllers of left ventricular assist device (LVAD) technology supporting heart failure (HF) patients has enormous impact, given the high prevalence and mortality of HF in the population. The use of reinforcement learning for control applications in LVAD remains minimally explored. This work introduces a preload-based deep reinforcement learning control for LVAD based on the proximal policy optimization algorithm.
