Abstract:
Heart failure (HF) is a widely prevalent state in developing countries, especially among people over 65, with percentages up to 10% of the population in the US. In all developed countries the expenditure related to congestive heart failure consists of a high percentage of the total health care expenditure, reaching 60% in the UK (1991 1). One of the main strategies for dealing with HF is the use of cardiac assist devices. Among these the most widely used device is the Intra-Aortic balloon pump (IABP). The IABP has as the main aims to increase coronary flow during inflation, and decrease end di

Abstract:
Most current designs for Left Ventricular Assist Devices (LVAD) are based on rotary pumps due to their small size and lack of valves. However, the majority of FDA approved LVADs are larger, positive displacement pumps. One reason for this may be because positive displacement pumps produce pulsatile flow, similar to that of the natural heart, while rotary pumps produce continuous flow. Continuous flow has been shown to support the circulation for short periods of time during open-heart surgery, but it has seen limited success with long-term support. It is thought that pulsatile flow provide

Abstract:
Heart failure is a progressive condition that affects over 5.7 million Americans and costs associated with heart failure account for 2-3 % of the national health care budget. The high rates of morbidity and mortality along with increased costs from readmissions associated with advanced heart failure have led to the exploration of advanced treatments such as left ventricular assist devices (LVADs). LVADS have demonstrated morbidity and mortality benefit but cost remains extensive with costs per quality-adjusted years > $400,000. With this in mind, it is important to identify those who are most

Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a debilitating condition that afflicts 4.8 million Americans with an increasing incidence. Each year, there are an estimated 400,000 new cases. The incidence is on the rise as the age of the population is increasing and because most people are surviving their first heart attack. Pharmacological therapies are improving, yet many patients still reach end-stage heart failure and there are too few donor hearts available.

Abstract:
The rotary Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) is a mechanical pump surgically implanted in patients with end-stage congestive heart failure to help maintain the flow of blood from the sick heart. The rotary type pumps are controlled by varying the impeller speed to control the amount of blood flowing through the LVAD. One important challenge in using these devices is to prevent the occurrence of excessive pumping of blood from the left ventricle (known as suction) that may cause it to collapse due to the high pump speed. The development of a proper feedback controller for the pump speed is

Abstract:
This study evaluates the impact of untreated preoperative severe mitral valve regurgitation (MR) on outcomes after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation. Of the 234 patients who received LVAD therapy in the Heart Center Leipzig during a 6-year period, we selected those who had echocardiographic images of good quality and excluded those who underwent mitral valve replacement prior to or mitral valve repair during LVAD placement. The 128 patients selected were divided into 2 groups: Group A with severe MR (n = 65) and Group B with none to moderate MR (n = 63, 28 with moderate MR). W

碩士<br>國立臺灣海洋大學<br>系統工程暨造船學系<br>103<br>Abstract The best treatment is the heart implantation for the severe heart failure patients presently; however, this operation cannot be carried until there is a proper donated organ for the patient. The LVAD implantation is one choice to have the extension life time waiting for the proper organ and has been widely used as the treatment in Europe, America, and Japan. The use of LVAD can effectively improve patient survival rates and increase the life time. This study is trying to find the relationship between the coil sets arrangement and the piston mov

Abstract:
The thesis discusses the education of patients with left ventricular support HeartMate II. Theoretical part is focused on education and its ethical and legal aspects, on the description of the educational process. Furthermore it focuses on heart supports, especially on left ventricular assist device HeartMate II. To provide a comprehensive overview, I have included also information about the anatomy and physiology of the cardiovascular system and the section on heart failure. I described the specifics of nursing care for patients with implanted HeartMate II system and the educational topics th

Abstract:
Plasma levels of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) are a strong and independent predictor of prognosis in patients with advanced heart failure (CHF). However, the importance of this biomarker has been documented only in CHF of common causes such as dilated or ischemic cardiomyopathy. We hypothesized that BNP can serve as a strong predictor of end-stage CHF in group of patients with advanced CHF due to congenital heart disease (CHD) with the right ventricle in systemic position (SRV). The second hypothesis was that BNP monitoring in patients with implanted left ventricular assist device (LVAD) H
