In the last two decades, tremendous strides in the field of
mechanical support have extended the lives of countless sufferers
of congestive heart failure, who total close to 1% of the US
population. This technology has saved the lives of patients with
acute heart failure due to heart attacks, dilated cardiomyopathies
and post-cardiotomy shock and sustained patients with end stage
congestive heart failure until a precious donor organ has become
available for transplantation. In an attempt to address the growing
imbalance between demand and supply of donor hearts, and armed with
great hope and excitement, investigators are now examining these
devices as potential alternatives to cardiac transplantation.
This book describes in detail the historical evolution, current
knowledge, and future trends in the field of mechanical circulatory
support. It will be of greatest interest to cardiologists,
circulatory physiologists, cardiac anaesthesiologists, critical
care physicians, cardiac surgeons, and other healthcare
professionals who are challenged daily with the care of patients
with acute and chronic heart failure.
