Ventricular Assist Device Therapy [PDF]

Cardiovascular Therapeutics, 2009
Ventricular assist devices are an important therapeutic option for advanced congestive heart failure. A left ventricular assist device (LVAD) can be implanted as a bridge to transplantation or for the purpose of destination therapy. LVADs improve end‐organ function and reduce morbidity and mortality in appropriately selected patients.

Practice Issues for Evaluation and Management of the Suicidal Left Ventricular Assist Device Patient [PDF]

, 2020
There is a high prevalence of depression among left ventricular assist device patients, who present with an increased risk of suicidality given access to means via the device either with nonadherence or disconnection.

Machine Learning-based Efficient Ventricular Tachycardia Detection Model of ECG Signal [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
In primary diagnosis and analysis of heart defects, an ECG signal plays a significant role. This paper presents a model for the prediction of ventricular tachycardia arrhythmia using noise filtering, a unique set of ECG features, and a machine learning-based classifier model.

Successful heart transplantation after 4 years of bridging with HeartWare HVAD for left ventricular noncompaction in an 11-year-old boy with prohibitively high pulmonary vascular resistance

Annals of Pediatric Cardiology
End-stage heart failure due to left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC) poses unique challenges for ventricular assist device implantation, like inflow cannula obstruction due to trabeculations. We report a case of an 11-year-old boy with LVNC who underwent

Semantic-aware Temporal Channel-wise Attention for Cardiac Function Assessment [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Cardiac function assessment aims at predicting left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) given an echocardiogram video, which requests models to focus on the changes in the left ventricle during the cardiac cycle. How to assess cardiac function accurately and automatically from an echocardiogram video is a valuable topic in intelligent assisted ...

Time‐Controlled Dual Targeting to Program Systemic and Intercellular Transfer of Therapeutic Effects

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Aspirin‐liposomes loaded onto monocytes enable inflammation‐triggered targeting and efficient hand‐over of aspirin to inflamed cells. Monocytes uptake a significant portion of aspirin‐liposomes, prolonging therapeutic action. This approach enhances anti‐inflammatory effects through intercellular transfer, demonstrating a translational strategy for ...

Cost-effectiveness of left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) for patients with advanced heart failure : analysis of the British NHS Bridge to Transplant (BTT) program [PDF]

, 2014
Background: A previous cost-effectiveness analysis showed that bridge to transplant (BTT) with early design left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) for advanced heart failure was more expensive than medical management while appearing less beneficial ...
