Sexual function after left ventricular assist device.
To the Editor: Impaired sexual function is common in patients with heart failure (1) and following cardiac transplant. Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) improve survival, functional capacity, and quality of life for end-stage heart failure, but data regarding their impact on sexual function and satisfaction are limited to early devices and one small sample of continuous-flow devices from ...
متن کاملImprovement of Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) in Artificial Heart Using Particle Swarm Optimization
In this approach, the Left ventricular assist pump for patients with left ventricular failure isused. The failure of the left ventricle is the most common heart disease during these days. Inthis article, a State feedback controller method is used to optimize the efficiency of a samplingpump current. Particle Swarm Algorithm, which is a set of rules to update the position andvelocity, is applied...
متن کاملEffects of left ventricular assist device therapy on ventricular arrhythmias.
OBJECTIVES In a retrospective study, we sought to evaluate the effect of left ventricular assist device (LVAD) therapy on ventricular tachyarrhythmias in patients with advanced congestive heart failure. BACKGROUND Despite the increasing use of LVAD as a bridge to cardiac transplantation, our knowledge regarding its effect on ventricular arrhythmias is currently limited to small series. Little...
متن کاملPulmonary arterial pressure sensing in a patient with left ventricular assist device during ventricular arrhythmia
Introduction With the ever-increasing heart failure population, the use of left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) is becoming increasingly more accepted as a treatment for heart failure as destination therapy. In 2013, this became an American Heart Association recommendation as destination therapy. Despite improved mechanical function, the problem of fluid management often persists for these pa...
متن کاملPatient-Reported Outcomes in Left Ventricular Assist Device Therapy
Background—Technological advancements of left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) have created today’s potential for extending the lives of patients with end-stage heart failure. Few studies have examined the effect of LVAD therapy on patient-reported outcomes (PROs), such as health status, quality of life, and anxiety/depression, despite poor PROs predicting mortality and rehospitalization in pa...
