Abstract

Maintaining adequate organ perfusion during cardiac arrest remains a challenge, and various assist techniques have been evaluated. We assessed whether a right ventricular impeller assist device (RVAD) in adjunct to a left ventricular impeller assist device (LVAD) is beneficial. Twenty anesthetized pigs were randomized to maximized circulatory support by percutaneously implanted left- or biventricular assist device(s) during 30 minutes of electrically induced ventricular fibrillation followed by three attempts of cardioversion. Continuous hemodynamic variables were recorded. Cardiac output and myocardial, cerebral, renal, and ileum mucosa tissue perfusion were measured with fluorescent microspheres, and repeated blood gas analyses were obtained. With biventricular support, an increased LVAD output was found compared with left ventricular (LV) support; 3.2 ± 0.2 (SEM) vs. 2.0 ± 0. 2 L/minute just after start of ventricular fibrillation, 3.2 ± 0.1 vs. 2.0 ± 0.1 L/minute after 15 minutes, and 3.0 ± 0.1 vs. 2.1 ± 0.1 L/minute after 30 minutes of cardiac arrest (pg < 0.001). Biventricular support also increased aortic and LV pressure, in addition to end-tidal CO2. Tissue blood flow rates were increased for most organs with biventricu...Continue Reading

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

Artificial Heart & Ventricular Assist Devices

Total artificial hearts (TAH) and ventricular assist devices (VADs) provide cardiac support for patients with end-stage heart disease and have significantly improved the survival of these patients. Discover the latest research on Artificial Heart and Ventricular Assist Devices here.
