- Summary:
- More than 6 million Americans suffer from heart failure - about 10% of those patients suffer from advanced heart failure. These patients can no longer be treated with conventional heart therapies and symptom management strategies. As a result, a more targeted and invasive technique needs to be discussed and decided between the patient and their doctor. This book describes the current state of the art in mechanical circulatory support with an emphasis in patient selection, device selection, management of comorbidities and complications. The book is the first authoritative and comprehensive volume dedicated to how the technology can be used safely to benefit ill patients suffering from advanced heart failure. The book begins with a brief historical perspective of the technology and its development. It will be divided in 6 sections with multiple chapters, each addressing a specific area in MCS. These sections include types of support, the MCS program, patient selection, operative techniques, management, complications, and special considerations. Chapter authors are experts in their fields. Mechanical Heart Assistance to Heart Replacement: A Guide is an essential reference for all providers (physician, nurses, coordinators, engineers, industry, hospitals and regulatory agencies) who manage patients with advanced heart failure who require mechanical circulatory support. .
