Immunocompetent cells in durable ventricular assist device-implanted non-ischaemic dilated cardiomyopathy. [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: Because the presence of immunocompetent cells in the myocardium is associated with the pathological stage and/or myocardial viability, we explored relationships between functional recovery after left ventricular assist device implantation and ...

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.
