Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) surgery is a procedure to place a durable mechanical heart pump into a poorly functioning heart. LVADs help your heart’s lower left chamber (ventricle) pump blood ...
Beware a maculopapular rash years after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation, according to clinicians describing the phenomenon of LVAD vasculitis in a case series. Three cases of LVAD ...
Ventricular assist devices are mechanical pumps that take over the function of the damaged ventricle in order to re-establish normal hemodynamics and end-organ blood flow. In addition, VADs unload the ...
In recipients of a left ventricular assist device (LVAD), the use of the angiotensin-neprilysin inhibitor sacubitril/valsartan was feasible, safe, and well tolerated, yielding improved quality of life ...
Ventricular arrhythmia occurs when the heart’s lower chambers beat out of sync, which can prevent the heart from effectively pumping blood throughout the body. Diagnosis of ventricular arrhythmia ...
Female recipients of a left ventricular assist device tend to have worse clinical outcomes compared to their male counterparts, according to a study in Circulation: Heart Failure from researchers at ...
Polymorphic ventricular tachycardia is an abnormal heart rhythm where the bottom chambers of your heart beat too quickly. People with severe cases may experience sudden cardiac arrest. Conditions that ...
