There is a critical need to improve heart failure management to reduce costs and improve quality of life. One strategy is structured telephone support, which consists of a healthcare provider calling the patient after hospital discharge at scheduled intervals to conduct symptom screening and disease ...
A team of life science entrepreneurs in Houston, TX, has developed the first catheter-deployed circulatory assist device intended for long-term use to treat chronic heart failure. The Aortix™ provides a minimally invasive treatment option for the more

During the first year when, for example, rejection of the new heart is at its height, the patients are followed closely. After one year, the survival rate is about 95%, and research is constantly examining how this rate can be raised even further. ...
To evaluate the clinical results of circulatory support for severe heart failure after operation, we examined 62 patients (39 males and 23 females) who underwent circulatory support for postoperative heart failure from 1984 to 1996. Their ages ranged from 22 to 78 (mean 52) years. In 62 ...
Intervention for advanced heart failure patients and their caregivers to support shared decision-making about implantation of a ventricular assist device. This project aimed to co-develop and pilot an intervention plan to support shared decision-making (SDM) for patients considering a ventricular assist...
Cardiac failure remains a life-threatening complication for certain patients undergoing intracardiac repair. Despite improvements in surgical techniques, better methods of myocardial protection, and improved postoperative care, patients are frequently at risk of developing postoperative low output syndrome. Appro...
