Management of ventricular arrhythmias in patients with ventricular assist devices.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW To summarize the available evidence concerning the occurrence and treatment of ventricular arrhythmias in patients supported with long-term ventricular assist devices (VADs). RECENT FINDINGS Approximately one-third of left ventricular assist device-supported patients experience significant ventricular arrhythmias, with higher rates in certain patient subsets. Ventricular arr...
متن کاملPediatric ventricular assist devices.
The field of pediatric mechanical circulatory support with ventricular assist devices has lagged significantly behind that of adult patients. However, there is increasing attention on the emerging field of pediatric ventricular assist device support. In this review, part of the Pediatric Cardiac Intensive Care Society/Extracorporeal Life Support Organization Joint Consensus Statement on Mechani...
متن کاملEchocardiographic evaluation of ventricular assist devices in pediatric patients.
BACKGROUND The use of ventricular assist devices (VADs) in children is challenging because of small patient size, frequent structural heart disease, and the need for biventricular assist devices. This report describes the role of echocardiography in the management of children supported by VADs. METHODS A retrospective review of the records of all pediatric patients who underwent VAD placement...
متن کاملVentricular Assist Devices for Pediatric Heart Disease
Mechanical Circulation Assist Devices are designed for the treatment of acute and chronic heart failure and can be applied for different indications and assist period. Treatments that are carried out with Ventricular Assist Device System (VADs) have improved over course of time, within the practical applications of pediatric cardiac surgery. Pulsatile devices being in the lead, paracorporeal as...
متن کاملAtrial Arrhythmias and Electroanatomical Remodeling in Patients With Left Ventricular Assist Devices
BACKGROUND The incidence, predictors, and impact of atrial arrhythmias along with left atrial structural changes in patients with left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) remain undetermined. METHODS AND RESULTS All patients who underwent LVAD implantation from 2008 to 2015 at the University of Chicago Medical Center were included. Electronic medical records, electrocardiograms, echocardiogram...
