End Stage Heart Failure – Transplantation or Lvad?
Heart failure is a complex clinical syndrome that can result from any structural or functional cardiac disorder that impairs the ability of the ventricle to fill or eject blood. According to the data from the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation registry, the half-life of patient survival after heart transplantation has progressively improved from 8.9 years in 1982 to a proj...
متن کاملHypochloremia and Diuretic Resistance in Heart Failure
The fundamental role of sodium in maintenance of fluid homeostasis and progression of heart failure (HF) has been a central paradigm in medicine for more than a century. As a result, a core treatment principal in HF management has been the avoidance of dietary sodium. However, accumulating evidence ranging from the basic sciences to epidemiological studies has challenged this paradigm, suggesti...
متن کاملLVAD: Left ventricular assist devices for end-stage heart failure.
Heart failure affects more than 5 million Americans with approximately 200,000 patients in end-stage disease that has failed traditional treatment. Historically, the only option for treatment was a heart transplant until left ventricular assist devices offered another option.
متن کاملEchocardiographic Evaluation of Hemodynamics in Patients With Systolic Heart Failure Supported by a Continuous-Flow LVAD.
BACKGROUND Hemodynamics assessment is important for detecting and treating post-implant residual heart failure, but its accuracy is unverified in patients with continuous-flow left ventricular assist devices (CF-LVADs). OBJECTIVES We determined whether Doppler and 2-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography reliably assess hemodynamics in patients supported with CF-LVADs. METHODS Simultane...
