Mechanical devices to assist the heart after an heart attack have               provided a very important tool to the physician in the stabilization of         the patients condition.  However the physiological interaction between          the heart and the assist device is not well understood.  This proposal          will contribute to the basic knowledge of the mechanism for the device-         heart response by quantifying this response in terms of engineering             terms.  Quantitative knowledge of this interaction will certainly lead          to a more reasoned approach in the utilization of such devices by               medical practitioners.
