The two primary goals of mechanical circulatory support are to provide adequate perfusion of the vital organs and to decrease cardiac work. The support of the myocardium is in an effort to cause a reversal of cardiac damage. The recovery process apparently takes place in two stages. Initially, there is a rapid functional recovery of cells in marginally

Cognitive functioning and quality of life are salient factors in predicting mortality and morbidity in end-stage heart failure patients receiving cardiac assist devices while awaiting cardiac transplantation. This study focused on cognitive functioning and selfreported quality of life, neurological impairment, and depressive symptoms. Of 103 candidates

Annual Review of Medicine, 1978
We reviewed current concepts and techniques of cardiac assistance, including orthotopic and heterotopic cardiac allografting. Whereas intraaortic balloon counterpulsation has had the greatest clinical use, other techniques are now becoming available, including the implantable abdominal left ventricular assistance device, and much effort is being ...

Cardiac assist device infections
Current Infectious Disease Reports, 2009Cardiac assist devices have emerged as an increasingly important option for circulatory support in patients with advanced congestive heart failure. Infection has been the leading cause of death with use of ventricular assist devices for the past 25 years, and continues to be a major cause of morbidity and mortality in this population.

Cardiac transplantation and ventricular assist devices
Current Opinion in Cardiology, 1991During the last decade, heart transplantation has become an almost routine clinical entity limited only by the number of donors available. Temporary ventricular support has also gained acceptance for two particular groups of patients: 1) those in cardiogenic shock with reversible ventricular failure and 2) those with irreversible ventricular failure ...

Simulation Evaluation of Cardiac Assist Devices
Methods of Information in Medicine, 2000Abstract:During past decades, various cardiac assist devices were invented. These cardiac assist devices can be classified into two categories: parallel connected or sequentially connected to the natural heart. In the past, more attention was paid to the assistance of the device provided to the failing heart and most research was conducted towards that

A right ventricular cardiac assist device
Journal of Medical Engineering & Technology, 1981A good method of assisting the right ventricle of the heart has, up to the present, not been available. This paper presents a new approach to assisting the right ventricle of the heart which can be utilised independently or during cardiac surgery. Through implementation of this approach, and timed inflation and deflation of several types of balloon ...

Physiologic Control of Cardiac Assist Devices
Artificial Organs, 1996Abstract: Total artificial hearts (TAHs) and biventricular assist devices (BVADs) have varying levels of acceptance and reliability, and the research on both focuses on their control mechanisms. Efforts generally aim to achieve a response to physiologic demand and left/right output balance, and beneficial cardiac output (CO) and effective control ...

Ventricular Assist Devices in Pediatric Cardiac Surgery
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1995Early experience in other centers with pediatric assist devices has been favorable.Prospectively we examined our first 13 patients between January 1992 and September 1994.Thirteen children underwent ventricular assistance at Royal Alexandra Hospital for Children. Age ranged from 4 days to 30 months, weight from 2.9 kg to 17 kg.

Heart failure is the inability of the heart to pump blood at a rate commensurate with the requirements of the metabolizing tissues. This growing population of patients with refractory end-stage heart failure has been a major catalyst for the development of devices that assist or even replace the failing heart.
