Mechanical Circulatory Support in Women [PDF]
A number of devices can now provide mechanical circulatory support (MCS) to patients with acute cardiogenic shock (CS) and chronic end-stage heart failure (HF). Women differ from men in pathophysiology and natural history of CS and HF, and are usually sicker at admission.

Influence of shear rate and surface chemistry on thrombus formation in micro-crevice [PDF]
Thromboembolic complications remain a central issue in management of patients on mechanical circulatory support. Despite the best practices employed in design and manufacturing of modern ventricular assist devices, complexity and modular nature of these systems often introduces internal steps and crevices in the flow path which can serve as nidus for ...

Mechanical Circulatory Support for Right Ventricular Failure
Right ventricular (RV) failure is associated with significant morbidity and mortality, with in-hospital mortality rates estimated as high as 70–75%. RV failure may occur following cardiac surgery in conjunction with left ventricular failure, or may be ...

A Novel Tropical Geometry-based Interpretable Machine Learning Method: Application in Prognosis of Advanced Heart Failure [PDF]
A model's interpretability is essential to many practical applications such as clinical decision support systems. In this paper, a novel interpretable machine learning method is presented, which can model the relationship between input variables and responses in humanly understandable rules.

Predicting post-operative right ventricular failure using video-based deep learning [PDF]
Non-invasive and cost effective in nature, the echocardiogram allows for a comprehensive assessment of the cardiac musculature and valves. Despite progressive improvements over the decades, the rich temporally resolved data in echocardiography videos remain underutilized. Human reads of echocardiograms reduce the complex patterns of cardiac wall motion,

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 ...

Accelerometry-based classification of circulatory states during out-of-hospital cardiac arrest [PDF]
Objective: Exploit accelerometry data for an automatic, reliable, and prompt detection of spontaneous circulation during cardiac arrest, as this is both vital for patient survival and practically challenging. Methods: We developed a machine learning algorithm to automatically predict the circulatory state during cardiopulmonary resuscitation from 4 ...
