Non-intrusive PODI-ROM for patient-specific aortic blood flow in presence of a LVAD device [PDF]

, 2020
Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are used to provide haemodynamic support to patients with critical cardiac failure. Severe complications can occur because of the modifications of the blood flow in the aortic region. In this work, the effect of a continuous flow LVAD device on the aortic flow is investigated by means of a non-intrusive reduced ...

Pressure-Volume Loop Analysis in Percutaneous Coronary Intervention-Induced Shock

JACC: Case Reports, 2020
High-risk percutaneous coronary intervention may lead to undesirable clinical scenarios such as cardiogenic shock. We describe the hemodynamic changes using pressure-volume loop analyses in percutaneous coronary intervention-induced shock.

ASSIST DEVICES IN CARDIAC SURGERY

The Professional Medical Journal, 2018
Objectives: IABP is the most frequently used assist device in cardiac surgery. However, due to the poor socioeconomic status in our country, it is not always possible to use a brand new IABP when required. In these circumstances we use re-sterilized IABP catheters. Our aim was to compare the outcome of re-sterilized versus new IABP catheters in the set

Recurrent Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy in a Patient With Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Leading to Cardiogenic Shock Requiring VA-ECMO

JACC: Case Reports, 2020
Providing hemodynamic support for patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and cardiogenic shock can be challenging because inotropic medications worsen intraventricular obstruction, and the effect of appropriate mechanical support remains undefined. We

The Impact of Cardiac Devices on Patients’ Quality of Life—A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2022
The implantation of cardiac devices significantly reduces morbidity and mortality in patients with cardiac arrhythmias. Arrhythmias as well as therapy delivered by the device may impact quality of life of patients concerned considerably.

Remote laser-speckle sensing of heart sounds for health assessment and biometric identification [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Assessment of heart sounds is the cornerstone of cardiac examination, but it requires a stethoscope, skills and experience, and a direct contact with the patient. We developed a contactless, machine-learning assisted method for heart-sound identification and quantification based on the remote measurement of the reflected laser speckle from the neck ...

Cardiac MRI Segmentation with Strong Anatomical Guarantees [PDF]

in Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention - MICCAI 2019, 2019, pp. 632-640, 2019
Recent publications have shown that the segmentation accuracy of modern-day convolutional neural networks (CNN) applied on cardiac MRI can reach the inter-expert variability, a great achievement in this area of research. However, despite these successes, CNNs still produce anatomically inaccurate segmentations as they provide no guarantee on the ...

Cardiac Sympathetic Denervation for Refractory Ventricular Arrhythmia in Continuous-Flow Left Ventricular Assist Device

JACC: Case Reports, 2021
Cardiac sympathetic denervation has been shown to reduce sustained ventricular arrhythmias and implantable cardioverter-defibrillator shocks by inhibiting sympathetic outflow to the heart.

Cardiogenic Shock in Obstructive Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Plus Apical Ballooning

JACC: Case Reports, 2021
A patient with known obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy developed worsening left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, severe mitral regurgitation, and apical ballooning leading to cardiogenic shock, a combination in which treatment of each ...
