Ventricular assist devices are mechanical pumps that take over the function of the damaged ventricle in order to re-establish normal hemodynamics and end-organ blood flow. In addition, VADs unload the ...
Researchers have identified a key protein that may help failing hearts regain function, offering new insight into why some ...
The advanced heart failure team at Virtua Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Camden has successfully performed the health system’s first left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation. LVADs are ...
Pre- and postimplantation nursing evaluation, care, and teaching is crucial to successful, long-term LVAD recipient outcomes. Nurses provide care and cost-containment efforts that lead to patients ...

A newly identified protein may explain why some failing hearts recover function following mechanical support while others do ...
Patients with signs and symptoms of heart failure and a normal left ventricular ejection fraction are said to have diastolic heart failure. It has traditionally been thought that the ...
