The Inflammatory Response to Ventricular Assist Devices [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2018 The therapeutic use of ventricular assist devices (VADs) for end-stage heart failure (HF) patients who are ineligible for transplant has increased steadily in the last decade. In parallel, improvements in VAD design have reduced device size, cost, and device-related complications.

MitraClip or Ventricular Assist Device?
International Heart Journal, 2020 The patient was a 59-year-old female with advanced heart failure and severe functional mitral regurgitation who was classified as INTERMACS profile 4 with repeated hospitalizations despite guideline-directed medical therapy. She was also listed for heart transplantation. After comparing the two major therapeutic strategies: (1) durable left ventricular

Non‐Invasive Diagnosis of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy by Breath
Advanced Sensor Research, EarlyView.The use of sensor technologies for the diagnosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) by identification of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in breath samples. By combining gas chromatography‐mass spectrometry (GC‐MS) and electronic nose (eNose) platforms, specific VOC patterns associated with HCM are detected and analyzed.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Data from a prospective cohort with 112 auditory brainstem implant users are analyzed. Younger age at implantation (<3 years), less severe inner‐ear malformation (common cavity, cochlear aplasia, and hypoplasia), and more intraoperative eABR evoked electrodes (≥60%) are associated with better hearing and speech outcomes.

Sequential Pattern mining of Longitudinal Adverse Events After Left Ventricular Assist Device Implant [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are an increasingly common therapy for patients with advanced heart failure. However, implantation of the LVAD increases the risk of stroke, infection, bleeding, and other serious adverse events (AEs). Most post-LVAD AEs studies have focused on individual AEs in isolation, neglecting the possible interrelation ...

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
