Abstract

Left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) are currently used to treat patients with terminal congestive heart failure as a bridge to transplantation or as destination therapy in individuals with contraindications for cardiac transplantation. The LVADs are pulsatile or non-pulsatile systems that transport blood from the left ventricle to the ascending aorta parallel to the circulation thus providing a profound volume and pressure reduction in the left ventricle. The use of LVADs is associated with a considerable decrease of cardiac hypertrophy and dilation with significantly improved cardiac performance in a small subset of patients. The underlying process is termed reverse cardiac remodelling and is characterized by a significant decrease in the size of cardiomyocytes and reversible regulation of numerous molecular systems in the myocardium.
