Complications in patients with ventricular assist devices.
Heart failure affects more than 5 million people in the United States. The treatments of this disease include medical therapy, heart transplantation, and the implantation of ventricular assist devices. These devices are used in patients who are no longer responsive to conservative medical treatment, who are not candidates for a heart transplantation (destination therapy), who are awaiting a hea...
متن کاملCandidemia in patients with ventricular assist devices.
During the period 1998-2004, candidemia developed in 7 of 117 ventricular assist device recipients at our hospital, and the associated mortality rate was 71%. Five cases of candidemia were due to Candida parapsilosis, and 2 were due to Candida albicans. Three of the 7 patients with ventricular assist device-associated Candida bloodstream infections were cured, and the device was retained in 2 o...
متن کاملManagement 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 کاملSupervised exercise training versus usual care in ambulatory patients with left ventricular assist devices: A systematic review
Implantation of left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) has increased because of improved safety profile and limited availability of heart transplantation. Although supervised exercise training (ET) programs are known to improve exercise capacity and quality of life (QoL) in heart failure (HF) patients, similar data is inconclusive in LVAD patients. Thus, we performed a systematic review on stud...
متن کاملComparison of exercise performance in patients with chronic severe heart failure versus left ventricular assist devices.
BACKGROUND Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are frequently used as a bridge to cardiac transplantation and may be useful as long-term therapy. The purpose of this study was to compare the exercise performance of LVAD patients with that of ambulatory heart failure patients. METHODS AND RESULTS Exercise testing with hemodynamic and respiratory gas measurements was performed in 65 congest...
