The animal model deals with the species other than the human, as it can imitate the disease
progression, its' diagnosis as well as a treatment similar to human. Discovery of a drug …

Continuous-flow ventricular assist devices (CVADs) have gained widespread use as an
effective clinical therapy for patients with advanced-stage heart failure. Axial and centrifugal …

Ventricular assist devices (VADs) have been successfully used as a bridge to heart
transplant and destination therapy (DT) for congestive heart failure (HF) patients. Recently …

Introduction: The abnormal structure, function and molecular makeup of dilated
