Left ventricular assist devices: psychosocial challenges in the elderly.
30 Oct 2009 As the baby boom generation ages, the number of people with heart failure is expected to rise exponentially. A rapid increase in the demand for heart transplants will result in an increased use of left ventricular assist devices. This case ...

Activation of endothelial and coagulation systems in left ventricular assist device recipients.
29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: The paucity of organ donors has necessitated redirecting research toward finding alternative means to a heart transplant, such as left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) that will serve not merely as bridge-to-transplant but also as ...
