Latissimus Dorsi Stimulation in Dynamic Cardiomyoplasty: How Should We Proceed?
Improved understanding of the mechanisms of action in dynamic cardiomyoplasty (DCMP) and continued research in the stimulation of the latissimus dorsi muscle (LDM) contribute to the development of new stimulation strategies aimed at improving DCMP outcomes. Cautious initiation of LDM stimulation sooner after surgery than currently practiced may provide the patient earlier hemodynamic assistance...
متن کاملCorrelations between Time, Latissimus Dorsi Wrap Properties and Systolic Assistance in Demand Dynamic Cardiomyoplasty?
A certain systolic assistance in Demand Dynamic Cardiomyoplasty (DDCMP) has been suggested. We here evaluate relations between muscular properties of Latissimus Dorsi wrap (LDW) and systolic function using the doppler flow wire combined with LDW mechanogram. On the basis of previous study, we divided the patients in two groups on the time between intervention and start of demand protocol (group...
متن کاملCellular Cardiomyoplasty and Cardiac Regeneration
Despite of vast improvements in treatment, myocardial infarction often leads to heart failure (HF) which remains the leading cause of death in developed countries. Other than heart transplantation, therapeutic options have a limited role in improving out comes in patients with severe HF. It is therefore no surprise that cardiac cell therapy has raised many hopes as a novel therapeutic approach ...
متن کاملCellular cardiomyoplasty improves survival after myocardial injury.
BACKGROUND Cellular cardiomyoplasty is discussed as an alternative therapeutic approach to heart failure. To date, however, the functional characteristics of the transplanted cells, their contribution to heart function, and most importantly, the potential therapeutic benefit of this treatment remain unclear. METHODS AND RESULTS Murine ventricular cardiomyocytes (E12.5-E15.5) labeled with enha...
متن کاملDynamic cardiomyoplasty for heart failure.
In dynamic cardiomyoplasty the latissimus dorsi of the patient is lifted as a pedicle graft, placed in the chest cavity, and the muscle is wrapped around the ventricles of the failing heart.' This muscle undergoes low frequency electrical stimulation for several weeks to confer fatigue resistance. The muscle is then stimulated by a synchronisable burst stimulator to contract during cardiac syst...
