Mechanical Circulatory Support [PDF]

, 2020
Mechanical circulatory support is becoming more frequently utilised in the intensive care and cardiac surgical setting. From extra-corporal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) to ventricular assist devices (VADs), there are newer models, and variations in configurations to accommodate expanding indications. This thesis aims to determine the current progress of

Case Report: Early Identification of Subclinical Cardiac Tamponade in a Patient With a Left Ventricular Assist Device by the Use of Sublingual Microcirculatory Imaging: A New Diagnostic Imaging Tool?

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
Clinical diagnosis of cardiac tamponade can be difficult in patients with continuous flow left ventricle assist devices (cf-LVADs). This is even more so because of the lack of adequate bedside echocardiographic windows.

Mechanical circulatory support in ventricular arrhythmias

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
In atrial and ventricular tachyarrhythmias, reduced time for ventricular filling and loss of atrial contribution lead to a significant reduction in cardiac output, resulting in cardiogenic shock.

Linear tubular switched reluctance motor for heart assistance circulatory: Analytical and finite element modeling [PDF]

, 2011
A linear tubular switched reluctance motor is presented. This actuator is devoted to be used as a left ventricular assist device (LVAD). In order to avoid thrombosis, this actuator includes pump and valve functions. By using a St. Jude Medical mechanical

Implications of Transitional Care Interventions on Hospital Readmissions in Patients With Destination Therapy Left Ventricular Assist Devices [PDF]

, 2019
Background: The rising number of patients with a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) require care management to successfully transition home after implantation. These patients and their families need to manage their heart failure, and the complexities

Relationship between device acceptance and patient-reported outcomes in left ventricular assist device (LVAD) recipients [PDF]

, 2019
The number of Left Ventricular Assist Devices (LVADs) implanted each year is rising. Nevertheless, there are minimal data on device acceptance after LVAD implant, and on its relationship with patient-reported outcomes. We designed a cross-sectional study

Peripartum Cardiogenic Shock and Mechanical Circulatory Support

Interventional Cardiology: Reviews, Research, Resources, 2023
Despite remarkable improvements in the past two decades, the annual cardiovascular mortality rate has remained higher for women than for men. Pregnant women represent an underinvestigated population in clinical research, and the mechanisms of long-term ...
