Abstract:

An artificial heart is a device that replaces the heart. Artificial hearts are typically used to bridge the time to heart transplantation, or to permanently replace the heart in case heart transplantation is impossible. Although other similar inventions preceded it are going back to the late 1940s, the first artificial heart to be successfully implanted in a human was the Jarvik-7, designed by Robert Jarvik and implemented in 1982.

Abstract:

Background While the prevalence of heart failure (HF) in Europe and the USA has increased constantly in the last decades up to 12 million patients, we are still missing available, effective therapeutic options for advanced HF refractory to medical management, accounting for 5% of the total HF patient population. In fact, cardiac transplantation remains the primary option for a select group of end-stage HF patients but it is strongly limited due to the shortage of donor organs. The research in the field of mechanical devices to support or substitute the pumping function of failing heart is th

Abstract:

Heart disease is the principal cause of death in most industrialised countries. In the U.S.A. for example, 2.3 million individuals suffer from chronic heart failure, with an annual increase in numbers of 17%. It is estimated that 17,000 to 35,000 of them per year will die from this disease if they are not given either a heart transplant or an artificial heart. Unfortunately, the numbers of heart donors cannot meet the demand for transplantation, and, at present, the artificial heart is a prohibitively expensive alternative.

Data were sampled on a 5-mm grid throughout most of the interior of the blood chamber, using two orthogonal LDA configurations from which 3D velocity data were synthesised.

Abstract:

The development of heart valve stenosis and sclerosis can lead to the development of fatal complications such as congestive heart failure. Therefore, severe valve stenosis requires a surgical operation with artificial heart valve replacement. Given that the geometrical differences between artificial valves would significantly influence hemodynamic performance around the implanted valve, additional knowledge for the interactions between blood flow and the artificial valve is necessary. Therefore, in order to proceed, this study proposes an advanced computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation

Abstract:

The only definitive treatment currently used for end-stage heart failure (HF) is cardiac transplantation. However, the procedure is limited by organ shortage and the side-effects of life-long immunosuppression. The need for new therapeutic strategies paved the way for the development of mechanical circulatory supports (e.g., total artificial hearts, TAHs) and the whole bioengineered heart. Although the two approaches may appear to be in conflict, TAHs are intended for short- to middle-term applications and can be developed and clinically applied relatively faster; the bioengineered heart appro

The principle objectives of this study were to investigate deposition around test objects of a more complex geometry than bodies of revolution, using ultrasound, whilst over coming some of the problems previously encountered with ultrasonic imaging. Development of a new deaeration system reduced the number of bubbles (which attenuate ultrasound) in the milk flow to a satisfactory level, subsequently improving the quality of the ultrasound images. Further changes included the selection of a new rennet due to the unavailability of the original rennet used in the milk studies. Several rennets wer

Bodies of revolution, such as a teardrop, were used to simplify the flow structures present in the flow, making the relation of flow features to the deposition of clot more amenable to analysis. Christy concluded that stasis was a necessary but not sufficient condition for thrombus deposition. A quantitative flow visualisation technique known as particl

A non-invasive, in vitro method of estimating mean pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) was developed.

Correlation of computed estimates of PAP to actual measurements showed that these equations were greater than 92% accurate within 1.84 mmHg. In addition, while the RDP-PAP relationships were wholly dependent on FV, it was shown t

Abstract:

Platelet mediated thrombosis has been a major source of mortality and morbidity in cardiovascular device patients as the device surface upon contact with blood induces surface thrombosis. Two specific objectives of this thesis are: 1) Identify the effect of phospholipid modification on Quatromer and 2) Identify the most effective modification technique that will inhibit the surface induced thrombosis and enhance the long-term blood compatibility of Quatromer. Six different phospholipids were grafted in the Quatromer and the role of each of the modified substrates was evaluated in terms of mech

Abstract:

Mechanical circulatory support (MCS) is a viable therapy for end stage heart failure. However, despite clinical success, the ability to compare MCS devices in vitro and perform training scenarios is extremely limited. Comparative studies are limited as different devices cannot be interchanged in a patient due to the surgical nature of implant. Further, training and failure scenarios cannot be performed on patients with devices as this would subject a patient to a failure mode. A need exists for a readily available mock system that can perform comparative testing and training scenarios with MCS
