Sleeve Adaptor for Connecting LVAD to Damaged Ventricle
to the heart and assisting it in pumping blood throughout the body until a donor heart becomes available. However, when implanting VADs the ventricular apex needs to be intact so that it may support the LVAD. Unfortunately, implantation is difficult and sometimes impossible in many patients due to concomitant weak, diseased, or calcified left ventricular...

An Effective Method to Evaluate the Risk of Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF) Using Endotrophin (ProC6) Biomarkers.
Measuring endotrophin (ProC6) in plasma predicts the risk of death, heart failure admission, and composite cardiovascular events in HFpEF patients. Problem: HFpEF, which accounts for over half of heart failure (HF) cases, is a condition in which the heart cannot supply enough oxygen and nutrients to the body despite normal ejection fraction levels....
