Experience with left ventricular assist device usage in the treatment of end-stage heart failure [PDF]
Кардіохірургія та інтервенційна кардіологія, 2017 Heart failure potentially developing in most of heart diseases is a progressive process associated with high morbidity and mortality. Almost 3/4 of patients die within five years after first hospitalization because of heart failure.

A Physiological Control System for an Implantable Heart Pump that Accommodates for Interpatient and Intrapatient Variations [PDF]
http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/TBME.2019.2932233, 2019 Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) can provide mechanical support for a failing heart as bridge to transplant and destination therapy. Physiological control systems for LVADs should be designed to respond to changes in hemodynamic across a variety of clinical scenarios and patients by automatically adjusting the heart pump speed.

Risks and Benefits of Using a Commercially Available Ventricular Assist Device for Failing Fontan Cavopulmonary Support: A Modeling Investigation [PDF]
, 2019 Fontan patients often develop circulatory failure and are in desperate need of a therapeutic solution. A blood pump surgically placed in the cavopulmonary pathway can substitute the function of the absent sub-pulmonary ventricle by generating a mild pressure boost.

Relationship between device acceptance and patient-reported outcomes in left ventricular assist device (LVAD) recipients [PDF]
, 2019 The number of Left Ventricular Assist Devices (LVADs) implanted each year is rising. Nevertheless, there are minimal data on device acceptance after LVAD implant, and on its relationship with patient-reported outcomes. We designed a cross-sectional study

Heart Failure Anticoagulation Teach-Back Education and Readmissions [PDF]
, 2020 : Heart failure affects millions of Americans each year. Treatment of advanced heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and left ventricular failure is sometimes treated with implantation of a left-ventricular assist device.

A non-intrusive data-driven ROM framework for hemodynamics problems [PDF]
, 2020 Reduced order modeling (ROM) techniques are numerical methods that approximate the solution of parametric partial differential equation (PDE) by properly combining the high-fidelity solutions of the problem obtained for several configurations, i.e. for several properly chosen values of the physical/geometrical parameters characterizing the problem.

Tunneling a Pulmonary Artery Graft: A Simplified Way to Insert and Remove a Temporary Right Ventricular Assist Device [PDF]
, 2015 Right ventricular failure can occur early or late after left ventricular assist device implantation. Support with a right ventricular assist device is needed in patients whose right ventricular failure does not respond to conservative management. The use
