Cardiac Remodeling and Recovery: Lessons from Mechanical Ventricular Assist Devices
Cardiac injury, regardless of etiology, typically leads to an increase in wall stress, decreased compliance, reduced systolic function, and progressive chamber dilation. This process is termed “remodeling” and is associated with a worse prognosis in patients with heart failure. Several drugs have been shown to have an effect on inducing reverse remodeling or reducing ventricular dilatation, inc...
متن کاملCardiac Assist Devices
The Surgical Research Laboratory at Sinai Hospital of Detroit has as its primary goal the development of mechanical and biological technics for augmenting or replacing the function of a damaged heart. Scientific contributions from our group include the development of a cardiac pacemaker, a method for electronic control of bladder evacuation, technics for chronic stimulation of nerves, and a met...
متن کاملHeart Failure and Mechanical Circulatory Assist Devices
During the last 20 years, the management of heart failure has significantly improved by means of new pharmacotherapies, more timely invasive treatments and device assisted therapies. Indeed, advances in mechanical support, namely with the development of more efficient left ventricular assist devices (LVAD), and the total artificial heart have reduced mortality and morbidity in patients with end...
متن کاملVentricular assist devices and non-cardiac surgery
The use of ventricular assist devices has expanded significantly since their approval by the Food and Drug Administration in the United States in 1994. In addition to this, the prevalence of heart failure continues to increase. We aim to provide an overview of perioperative considerations and management of these patients for non-cardiac surgery. We performed a Medline search for the words "vent...
متن کاملOptimization of Cardiac-Cycle Synchronized Control for Ventricular Assist Devices
Heart failure is one of the leading causes of death in the developed countries. The use of ventricular assist devices (VADs) is an option for treating patients with end-stage heart failure which is increasingly applied, while heart transplantation represents the gold standard therapy. The reason for the increased use is both due to a shortage of donor organs and the improvement of VAD technolog...
