The Pivotal Role of an Early Post‐Acute Cardiac Rehabilitation as an Evidence‐Based Management of Left Ventricular Assist Device Patients

open access: yesArtificial Organs, Volume 49, Issue 5, Page 886-893, May 2025.
Early, intensive, post‐acute cardiac rehabilitation programs significantly improve functional capacity and disability in LVAD patients, similar to HFrEF patients admitted to the same program. Data support scientific recommendations suggesting implementation of early intensive cardiac rehabilitation in LVAD patients. ABSTRACT Background Left Ventricular

Fluid dynamics of aortic root dilation in Marfan syndrome

open access: yes, 2014
Aortic root dilation and propensity to dissection are typical manifestations of the Marfan Syndrome (MS), a genetic defect leading to the degeneration of the elastic fibres. Dilation affects the structure of the flow and, in turn, altered flow may play a

Design of a Soft Robotic Artificial Cardiac Wall

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background In cardiovascular engineering, the recent introduction of soft robotic technologies sheds new light on the future of implantable cardiac devices, enabling the replication of complex bioinspired architectures and motions. To support human heart function, assistive devices and total artificial hearts have been developed.

PROGRESSION OF AORTIC AND VALVULAR HEART DISEASES IN PATIENTS WITH ANKYLOSING SPONDYLITIS

open access: yesНаучно-практическая ревматология, 2017
Involvement of the aorta and heart valves in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a manifestation of the systemic inflammatory process. Data on the frequency, clinical significance, and evolution of these manifestations are controversial.Objective: to estimate

Simulation of blood flow through an artificial heart [PDF]

open access: yes
A numerical simulation of the incompressible viscous flow through a prosthetic tilting disk heart valve is presented in order to demonstrate the current capability to model unsteady flows with moving boundaries.

Ultrasound Assessment of Venous and Pulmonary Congestion in Left Ventricular Assist Devices Patients

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
Renal venous stasis index (RVI) of Doppler renal ultrasound index is the peripheral vein ultrasound associated with high right atrial pressure, and right displacement of the interatrial septum is the echocardiographic parameter associated with high pulmonary wedge pressure.
