Devices in acute heart failure.
The optimal management strategy for patients with acutely decompensated heart failure has been limited to the use of various pharmacologic agents. However, with technological advances in mechanical devices, nonpharmacologic approaches now are available to supplement pharmacologic management. These devices range in sophistication and expertise and target various features of the acute heart failu...
متن کاملChronic counterpulsation devices for heart failure.
T he C-Pulse System (Sunshine Heart, Inc., Eden Prairie, Minnesota) is a novel implanted counterpulsation heart assist pump that is positioned around the ascending aorta. It is non–blood contacting and may be turned off intermittently or weaned off in cases of ventricular recovery. In this issue of JACC: Heart Failure, Abraham et al. (1) describe a safety assessment study in which 20 heart fail...
متن کاملHeart Failure and Mechanical Circulatory Assist Devices
During the last 20 years, the management of heart failure has significantly improved by means of new pharmacotherapies, more timely invasive treatments and device assisted therapies. Indeed, advances in mechanical support, namely with the development of more efficient left ventricular assist devices (LVAD), and the total artificial heart have reduced mortality and morbidity in patients with end...
متن کاملVentricular assist devices for heart failure
BACKGROUND Heart failure is a clinical syndrome of major epidemiological and economical importance. In Germany as in other industrialised countries it is one of the leading causes of mortality, morbidity and disability. For patients not responding to medical therapies ventricular assist devices are used as bridge to transplant, bridge to recovery or as destination therapy alternative to transpl...
متن کاملHeart failure devices: implantable cardioverter-defibrillators and biventricular pacing therapy.
Although the age-adjusted mortality from heart disease has declined in the United States, cardiovascular disease remains the No. 1 cause of death.1,2 Patients with cardiac disease generally die of one of 2 causes: sudden, unexpected cardiac death or progressive heart failure. Chronic heart failure (CHF) has become an epidemic in the United States. Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) th...
