Prevalence, clinical characteristics, and predictors of sleep disordered breathing in hospitalized heart failure patients

Clinical Cardiology, Volume 45, Issue 12, Page 1311-1318, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Background Heart failure (HF) is often comorbid with sleep disordered breathing (SDB). This prospective study investigated the prevalence, clinical characteristics, and predictors of SDB in hospitalized HF patients. Methods Sleep studies were performed on hospitalized HF patients from January 2015 to February 2019.

First Case Report of Electromagnetic Interference Between Percutaneous Ventricular Assist Device and Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator

JACC: Case Reports, 2023
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) between implantable left ventricular assist devices and cardiac implantable electronic devices has been observed. We demonstrated the first case of EMI between a percutaneous ventricular assist device and an implantable

Transcatheter valvular therapies in patients with left ventricular assist devices

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
Aortic, mitral and tricuspid valve regurgitation are commonly encountered in patients with continuous-flow left ventricular assist devices (CF-LVADs). These valvular heart conditions either develop prior to CF-LVAD implantation or are induced by the pump

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 ...

In Vitro and In Silico Characterization of the Aggregation of Thrombi on Ventricular Assist Device Cannula [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
The unacceptably high stroke rate of HeartMate III VAD without signs of adherent pump thrombosis is hypothesized to be the result of the thrombi originating on the inflow cannula, ingesting and ejecting emboli from the VAD. Therefore, inflow cannula thrombosis has been an emerging focus.

An Anticoagulant Coating Based on a Block Phosphocholine Copolymer for Potential Applications in Blood Contact Devices

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Anticoagulant properties are critical for blood‐compatible materials, and anticoagulant coatings are a common key issue for blood‐contacting medical devices. In this study, a block copolymer poly(2‐methacrylenoxyethyl phosphocholine‐b‐glycidyl) (PMPC‐b‐GMA) is synthesized, using reversible addition‐fragmentation chain transfer polymerization (RAFT) and

Treatment‐related adverse events of antibody–drug conjugates in clinical trials: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Cancer, Volume 129, Issue 2, Page 283-295, 15 January 2023., 2023
Abstract Background Antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs) have complex molecular structures and have been tested in numerous clinical trials. Therefore, understanding the mechanisms of their toxicity when applied in medical practice is of high importance. Methods In a systematic review and meta‐analysis of data gathered from different scientific databases ...
