The invention relates to a method for managing a cardiac pump (13) intended to assist the heart of a patient, said cardiac pump (13) being intended to send blood under pressure at a rate proportional to the speed of rotation Vrpm said pump (13) through the aortic valve of said heart. According to the invention, the following steps are performed during the same ventricular systole: (a) detecting the closure of the mitral valve of said heart, the rotation speed Vrpm of said pump (13) being strictly less than a maximum value Vrpm max speed of rotation of said pump (13), (b) increase the rotation speed Vrpm of said pump (13) so that at a time t2, posterior to the instant t1 corresponding to the closure of said mitral valve the rotational speed of said pump (13) is equal to, or substantially equal to, said maximum speed value Vrpm max of rotation speed, (c) maintaining said rotational speed Vrpm of said pump (13) at this maximum value Vrpm max during at least part of the period of time T during which the aortic valve is open, and - optionally repeat steps (a) to (c) for at least the ventricular systole of a next cardiac cycle. L'invention concerne un procédé de gestion d'une pompe (13) cardiaque destinée à assister le cœur d'un patient, ladite pompe (13) cardiaque étant destinée à envoyer du sang sous pression à un débit proportionnel à la vitesse de rotation Vrpm de ladite pompe (13) au travers de la valve aortique dudit cœur. Selon l'invention, on réalise, pendant une même systole ventriculaire, les étapes suivantes : (a) détecter la fermeture de la valve mitrale dudit cœur, la vitesse de rotation Vrpm de ladite pompe (13) étant strictement inférieure à une valeur maximale Vrpm max de vitesse de rotation de ladite pompe (13), (b) augmenter la vitesse de rotation Vrpm de ladite pompe (13) de sorte qu'à un instant t2, postérieur à l'instant t1 correspondant à la fermeture de ladite valve mitrale, la vitesse de rotation de ladite pompe (13) est
