Sexual Concerns of Patients With Implantable Left Ventricular Assist Devices.
The growing field of implantable left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) lacks studies that evaluate the sexual and psychosocial concerns of LVAD patients. The aim of this prospective study was to determine the sexual and psychosocial behaviors of these patients. A sexual and psychosocial survey was conducted in patients who underwent the implantation of LVAD. Inclusion criteria were patients w...
متن کاملInnovation with experience using implantable left ventricular assist devices.
The National 1Institutes of Health’s artificial heart program, initiated in 1964, has generated sustained and coordinated efforts by industry and academic engineers and investigators to create and develop mechanical circulatory support devices to prolong and enhance the lives of patients with advanced heart failure. These efforts have been supported by a combination of federal, industry, and ph...
متن کاملCurrent Trends in Implantable Left Ventricular Assist Devices
The shortage of appropriate donor organs and the expanding pool of patients waiting for heart transplantation have led to growing interest in alternative strategies, particularly in mechanical circulatory support. Improved results and the increased applicability and durability with left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) have enhanced this treatment option available for end-stage heart failure ...
متن کاملImplantable Left Ventricular Assist Devices and the Kidney
The use of left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) in treating patients with advanced heart failure restores cardiac output resulting in improved perfusion to multiple organ systems with important clinical benefits. Renal pathophysiology during LVAD support remains an evolving, poorly understood, and potentially dynamic problem. Changes in renal function after LVAD placement have been investiga...
