Myocardial Recovery and the Failing Heart
Medical and device therapies that reduce heart failure morbidity and mortality also lead to decreased left ventricular volume and mass and a more normal elliptical shape of the ventricle. These are due to changes in myocyte size, structure, and organization that have been referred to collectively as reverse remodeling. Moreover, there are subsets of patients whose hearts have undergone reverse ...
متن کاملAn Implantable Extracardiac Soft Robotic Device for the Failing Heart: Mechanical Coupling and Synchronization.
Soft robotic devices have significant potential for medical device applications that warrant safe synergistic interaction with humans. This article describes the optimization of an implantable soft robotic system for heart failure whereby soft actuators wrapped around the ventricles are programmed to contract and relax in synchrony with the beating heart. Elastic elements integrated into the so...
متن کاملMechanical device-based methods of managing and treating heart failure.
Despite advances in pharmacological treatments aimed at neurohormonal blockade for heart failure in the setting of left ventricular pump dysfunction, there is still a growing number of patients with advanced symptoms who suffer significant morbidity and mortality. Mechanical stresses and chronic neurohormonal activation conspire to propagate maladaptive ventricular remodeling responsible for th...
متن کاملMechanical unloading promotes myocardial energy recovery in human heart failure.
BACKGROUND Impaired bioenergetics is a prominent feature of the failing heart, but the underlying metabolic perturbations are poorly understood. METHODS AND RESULTS We compared metabolomic, gene transcript, and protein data from 6 paired samples of failing human left ventricular tissue obtained during left ventricular assist device insertion (heart failure samples) and at heart transplant (po...
متن کاملMyocardial substrate metabolism in the normal and failing heart.
The alterations in myocardial energy substrate metabolism that occur in heart failure, and the causes and consequences of these abnormalities, are poorly understood. There is evidence to suggest that impaired substrate metabolism contributes to contractile dysfunction and to the progressive left ventricular remodeling that are characteristic of the heart failure state. The general concept that ...
