Biologic Cardiac Assist: Performance Characteristics

  • Conference paper
Assisted Circulation 3

Abstract

Currently, the patient with end-stage heart failure has few therapeutic options. These include cardiac transplantation, mechanical assist devices, and medical therapy only. Despite recent advances in all types of treatment, ideal therapy for the patient with a failing heart has yet to be offered. Such an option should provide independence from external mechanical attachments, allow for an immunocompetent host, and minimize effects associated with blood-surface interaction. Cardiac assist devices powered by skeletal muscle might meet these requirements.

Supported by NIH Grant # LB134778, the John Rhea Barton Research Foundation, and the Mary L. Smith Lead Trust.
