A Sensorless Control System for an Implantable Heart Pump using a Real-time Deep Convolutional Neural Network [PDF]
Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are mechanical pumps, which can be used to support heart failure (HF) patients as bridge to transplant and destination therapy. To automatically adjust the LVAD speed, a physiological control system needs to be designed to respond to variations of patient hemodynamics across a variety of clinical scenarios. These

Fully Elman Neural Network: A Novel Deep Recurrent Neural Network Optimized by an Improved Harris Hawks Algorithm for Classification of Pulmonary Arterial Wedge Pressure [PDF]
Heart failure (HF) is one of the most prevalent life-threatening cardiovascular diseases in which 6.5 million people are suffering in the USA and more than 23 million worldwide. Mechanical circulatory support of HF patients can be achieved by implanting a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) into HF patients as a bridge to transplant, recovery or ...

Left Ventricular Assist Devices [PDF]
Ventricular assist device has rapidly emerged as a durable and safe therapy for end-stage heart failure patients with >22 000 implantations to date. Though originally conceived for bridge-to-transplant indication, significant advancements in medical management as well as technology with arrivals of newer generation devices have improved patient ...

Left ventricular assist devices [PDF]
Background There is a growing population of patients in the UK with advanced heart failure who are receiving a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) as a bridge to transplant. This is due to the plateauing number of heart transplantations and the increasing evidence of the effectiveness of these devices.

Left Ventricular Assist Devices and the Kidney [PDF]
Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are common and implantation carries risk of AKI. LVADs are used as a bridge to heart transplantation or as destination therapy. Patients with refractory heart failure that develop chronic cardiorenal syndrome and CKD often improve after LVAD placement. Nevertheless, reversibility of CKD is hard to predict.

Left ventricular assist device.
To the Editor: The value of angiotensin-converting– enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, beta-blockers, and spironolactone has been well established by the results of numerous clinical trials. About 70 percent of the patients described by Rose et al. were treated with ACE inhibitors or angiotensin II–receptor antagonists; 35 to 40 percent received spironolactone ...
