Advances in Heart Failure Frailty and the Selection of Patients for Destination Therapy Left Ventricular Assist Device
F railty is the aggregation of subclinical physiological insults across many organ systems resulting in a syndrome of heightened vulnerability in the face of stress. Measures of frailty are highly predictive of adverse outcomes in many medical and surgical populations but have never been formally applied to patient selection for destination therapy left ventricular assist device (LVAD). Patient...
متن کاملDesign an Equivalent Left Ventricular Assist Device for Medical Equipment Labs
LVAD is a mechanical pump supporting a weak heart function and blood flow. Sometimes, the heart may not recover fast enough to take over the pumping action immediately after surgery, in such patients a temporary support device has been employed to maintain the pumping action until the patient’s own heart recovers. This device can be considered as a temporary alternative before the process of ar...
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 کاملFrequency of Poor Outcome (Death or Poor Quality of Life) After Left Ventricular Assist Device for Destination Therapy
Patients with end-stage heart failure are highly symptomatic and are expected to have a short life expectancy without intervention. For patients who are not candidates for heart transplantation, a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) may be an ideal treatment option as destination therapy, meaning that the patient is expected to live with the device until death (ie, not a bridge to heart trans...
متن کاملThe Successful Implantation of Continuous-Flow Left Ventricular Assist Device as a Destination Therapy in Korea: Echocardiographic Assessment
Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) is a good treatment option for the patients ineligible for cardiac transplantation. Several studies have demonstrated that a ventricular assist device improves the quality of life and prognosis of the patients with end-stage heart failure. A 75-yr-old man debilitated with New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class III-IV due to severe left ventricul...
