A total artificial heart (TAH) represents a challenge in medical science to provide a survival
perspective for patients with severe cardiac problems. Although cardiac transplantation …

Septic shock management in the cardiac intensive care unit (CICU) is challenging due to the
complex interaction of pathophysiology between vasodilatory and cardiogenic shock …

Articular cartilage, composed of collagen type II as a major extracellular matrix and
chondrocyte as a unique cell type, is a specialized connective tissue without blood vessels …

Wearable implantable electronic devices (WIEDs) play an important role in data interaction
and information collection, which provides new ideas for the development of consumer …

In the last decades, outcomes significantly improved for both heart transplantation and
LVAD. Heart transplantation remains the gold standard for the treatment of end stage heart …

Here we introduce sub-millimeter self-oscillating gels that undergo the Belousov–
Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction and can anisotropically oscillate like cardiomyocytes. The …

Objective: Total artificial hearts (TAH) serve as a temporary treatment for severe biventricular
heart failure. The limited durability and complication rates of current devices hamper long …

Implantable devices form an integral part of the management of patients with heart failure
(HF) and provide adjunctive therapies in addition to cornerstone drug treatment. Although …

We characterize the anatomy and function of never before studied total artificial hearts
(TAHs) using established methods for testing mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices …

MCS is a rapidly evolving field. Kidney health and function before, during, and after MCS is
relevant to outcomes from an epidemiologic perspective, yet the pathophysiology underlying …
