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 کاملIs Left Ventricular Assist Device Therapy Underutilized in the Treatment of Heart Failure? Left Ventricular Assist Devices Are Underutilized
Heart failure has become one of the fastest growing cardiovascular diagnoses, with estimates as high as 500 000 new cases per year.1,2 This growth is in part a result of the reductions in death from acute coronary syndromes, increased use of implantable cardioverter defibrillators, and improved survival with most cardiovascular interventions, which have led to this continued increase in the num...
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 کاملPimobendan in Chronic Right Heart Failure in a Left Ventricular Assist Device Patient
We report the case of a 76-year-old patient who developed chronic right heart failure 1 year after left ventricular assist device implantation due to ischemic cardiomyopathy. Initial recompensation was achieved through dobutamin, sildenafil, and levosimendan treatment. Yet, discharge was successful only after the off-label use of the oral calcium sensitizer pimobendan. Ten months after discharg...
