Improvement 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...

Stroke and Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD)

Treatment of ischemic stroke for a patient on left ventricular assist device (LVAD) by neurointerventional means is rare and many anesthesia providers are unfamiliar with both LVAD and neurointerventional protocols. Examples of this include: 1) filling for continuous-flow LVAD depend on preload and the flow is inversely related to afterload; as mean arterial pressure (MAP) increases above 80 to...

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 ...

Metabolic Reprogramming After Left€Ventricular Assist Device

D espite impressive changes at the organ, tissue and cellular level in myocardial reverse remodeling with left ventricular assist device support, reprogramming the presumed “endstage” human heart toward the nonfailing phenotype has not been convincingly demonstrated (1–5). Many have questioned the possibility of achieving sustained myocardial “recovery” using our current technology, leading to ...
