    摘要: Methods and apparatus for estimating maximum flow for a heart pump are described. The method comprises receiving data relating motor current to differential pressure measured for a predetermined speed of a motor of the heart pump, extrapolating based on the received data, a first value for the motor current at which the differential pressure is zero, and determining a maximum flow value through the heart pump at the predetermined speed of the motor of the heart pump based, at least in part, on the first value for the motor current.
