Ventricular Assist Devices [PDF]
Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2009 The need for mechanical assistance of the failing heart, whether acute after a myocardial infarction or permanent in patients with end-stage heart failure, has increased with improvements in medical therapy and a growing aged population. Over the past few decades, much progress has been made in the development and refinement of ventricular assist ...

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.This study reveals how vorticity—a swirling flow pattern—enhances platelet aggregation and thrombus formation in high‐shear conditions. Using a custom microfluidic model, it is shows that vorticity promotes vWF–GPIbα interactions and calcium signaling, providing new insights into thrombosis mechanobiology and informing safer blood‐contacting medical ...

Left ventricular assist devices [PDF]
Journal of the Intensive Care Society, 2020 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.
