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...
متن کاملLeft Ventricular Assist Device Followed by Heart Transplantation
Since 1994, after the approval of the use of implantable ventricular assist devices (VADs) for long-term therapy in patients with advanced HF in the United States, there has been an increased interest in these devices. Technological improvement of VADs has resulted in the improved survival and quality of life in patients undergoing implantation, and the limitations of HT render these devices as...
متن کاملBridge to Transplantation with a Left Ventricular Assist Device
A 61-year-old female patient was diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy with severe left ventricle dysfunction. Two days after admission, continuous renal replacement therapy was performed due to oliguria and lactic acidosis. On the fifth day, an intra-aortic balloon pump was inserted due to low cardiac output syndrome. Beginning 4 days after admission, she was supported for 15 days thereafter w...
متن کاملRight ventricular hypertrabeculation due to right heart failure after left ventricular assist device implantation.
DESCRIPTION Hypertrabeculation/non-compaction of ventricular myocardium (HVM/NVM) is a cardiomyopathy thought to be caused by arrest of normal embryogenesis of the endocardium and myocardium between the fetal 5th and 8th weeks, resulting in persistence of multiple prominent ventricular trabeculations with deep intertrabecular recesses. The myocardium of the left ventricle is most often affected...
متن کاملProlonged Use of Levitronix Left Ventricular Assist Device as a Bridge to Heart Transplantation.
UNLABELLED A 61-year-old male presented to our emergency room with chest tightness, dyspnea, and cold sweat. He underwent a 12-lead EKG which showed ST-elevation from leads V1-V4 and T wave inversion in leads II, III, and aVF. His troponin-I level was elevated to 70.3 ng/ml. He went into cardiogenic shock when he was in the catheter room. After advanced cardiac life support was administered for...
