Flow rate values describing a blood flow rate through a ventricular assist device are received. A ventricular filling phase segment is identified from a portion of the received flow rate values. A slope of the received flow rate values during the identified ventricular filling phase segment is determined. The determined slope is compared to a predetermined threshold value. When the determined slope exceeds the predetermined threshold value based on the comparison, a warning is triggered regarding an elevated pulmonary capillary wedge pressure or a low cardiac index value. 000007426 690__ $$aBiological Sciences Division 000007426 691__ $$aMedicine 000007426 7011_ $$aUriel, Nir$$uUniversity of Chicago 000007426 7011_ $$aGrinstein, Jonathan$$uUniversity of Chicago 000007426 7121_ $$aUniversity of Chicago 000007426 7131_ $$aUniversity of Chicago 000007426 8564_ $$9c253475c-469a-48dc-bf60-793c06ea0335$$s490032$$uhttps://knowledge.uchicago.edu/record/7426/files/US11247037.pdf$$ePublic 000007426 909CO $$ooai:uchicago.tind.io:7426$$pGLOBAL_SET 000007426 983__ $$aPatent
