  • Title: State-of-the-art implantable cardiac assist device therapy for heart failure: bridge to transplant and destination therapy.
    Author: Park SJ, Kushwaha SS, McGregor CG.
    Journal: Clin Pharmacol Ther; 2012 Jan; 91(1):94-100. PubMed ID: 22113236.
    Abstract:
    Congestive heart failure is associated with poor quality of life (QoL) and low survival rates. The development of state-of-the-art cardiac devices holds promise for improved therapy in patients with heart failure. The field of implantable cardiac assist devices is changing rapidly with the emergence of continuous-flow pumps (CFPs). The important developments in this field, including pertinent clinical trials, registry reports, innovative research, and potential future directions are discussed in this paper.
