Endocarditis in left ventricular assist device
Intractable & Rare Diseases Research, 2016 Heart failure is one of the leading causes of death in developed nations. End stage heart failure often requires cardiac transplantation for survival. The left ventricular assist device (LVAD) has been one of the biggest evolvements in heart failure management often serving as bridge to transplant or destination therapy in advanced heart failure.

Ventricular Arrhythmias After Left Ventricular Assist Device [PDF]
Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology, 2013 Despite advances in medical therapy, heart failure remains one of the major causes of hospitalizations and deaths in the United States. Approximately 5.7 million patients have heart failure, and it is the direct cause of death for 57 000 individuals annually.1 Although the combination of optimal medical therapy, implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (

Stochastic Modelling and Dynamic Analysis of Cardiovascular System with Rotary Left Ventricular Assist Devices [PDF]
Mathematical Problems in Engineering, 2018, 2018 The left ventricular assist device (LVAD) has been used for end-stage heart failure patients as a therapeutic option. The aortic valve plays a critical role in heart failure and its treatment with LVAD. The cardiovascular-LVAD model is often used to investigate the physiological demands required by patients and predict the hemodynamic of the native ...

Automatic Cardiac Disease Assessment on cine-MRI via Time-Series Segmentation and Domain Specific Features [PDF]
, 2017 Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging improves on diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases by providing images at high spatiotemporal resolution. Manual evaluation of these time-series, however, is expensive and prone to biased and non-reproducible outcomes.
