Ventricular function under LVAD support [PDF]

, 2012
This thesis presents a finite element methodology for simulating fluid–solid interactions in the left ventricle (LV) under LVAD support. The developed model was utilised to study the passive and active characteristics of ventricular function in ...

The Interaction of Amiodarone and Continuous-flow Left Ventricular Assist Device Use in Risk of Severe Primary Graft Dysfunction Following Heart Transplantation

Transplantation Direct, 2022
Background. Primary graft dysfunction (PGD) increases morbidity and mortality after heart transplant. Here we investigated (1) the association of continuous-flow left ventricular assist device (CF-LVAD), amiodarone, and severe PGD and (2) the safety of ...

Impact of diastolic pulmonary gradient and pulmonary vascular remodeling on survival after left ventricular assist device implantation and heart transplantation

The Egyptian Heart Journal, 2023
Background The left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are increasingly used for advanced heart failure as a bridge to heart transplantation or as a destination therapy. The aim of this study was to investigate the changes of diastolic pulmonary gradient

A Peek at LVADs Pumping to Recovery

Clinical Medicine Insights: Cardiology, 2022
Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) have revolutionized the management of patients with advanced heart failure refractory to medical therapy. Current indications of LVADs include Bridge to Transplantation (BTT), Destination Therapy (DT) for long-term use, Bridge to the Decision (BTD) used as a temporary measure, and lastly Bridge to Recovery (BTR).
