2. Ventricular assist device - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventricular_assist_device

   The LVAD is the most common device applied to a defective heart (it is sufficient in most cases; the right side of the heart is then often able to make use of the heavily increased blood flow), but when the pulmonary arterial resistance is high, then an (additional) right ventricular assist device (RVAD) might be necessary to resolve the ...

3. Protected percutaneous coronary intervention - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protected_percutaneous...

   During a protected percutaneous coronary intervention (Protected PCI) procedure, "the Impella 2.5 heart pump helps maintain a stable heart function by pumping blood for the heart. This gives a weak heart muscle an opportunity to rest and reduces the heart’s workload, preventing the heart from being overstressed by the procedure as coronary ...

4. Impella - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impella

   Impella heart pumps are percutaneous microaxial pumps that act as mechanical circulatory support devices in patients in need of hemodynamic support. [11] The pumps are mounted on support catheters and typically inserted through the femoral artery, although axillary and subclavian artery approaches are not uncommon. [12]

6. Hemopump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemopump

   The pump was designed to allow for temporary support of a dying heart. It is a continuous flow pump, it does not need to be synced to the rhythm of the heart. It assists in temporary heart stimulation with conditions such as cardiogenic shock following acute myocardial infarction, heart failure from cardio pulmonary bypass, and more. The pump ...

7. Thoratec - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thoratec

   With the 2001 Thermo Cardiosystems merger, Thoratec acquired the HeartMate Left Ventricular Assist System, an implanted VAD for end-stage heart patients. A landmark three-year study of 129 patients at 22 major medical centers, called REMATCH (Randomized Evaluation of Mechanical Assistance for the Treatment of Congestive Heart Failure) and published in November 2001, found that the HeartMate VE ...

   A UK startup has built an AI-powered device capable of detecting signs of heart failure from a person’s feet.. Cambridge-based Heartfelt Technologies says its technology can monitor discharged ...

9. Cardiogenic shock - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiogenic_shock

   Cardiogenic shock is caused by the failure of the heart to pump effectively. It is due to damage to the heart muscle , most often from a heart attack or myocardial contusion . [ 6 ] Other causes include abnormal heart rhythms , cardiomyopathy , heart valve problems, ventricular outflow obstruction (i.e. systolic anterior motion in hypertrophic ...
