Beskrivning
In the last two decades, tremendous strides in the field of mechanical support have extended the lives of countless sufferers of congestive heart failure, who total close to 1% of the US population. This technology has saved the lives of patients with acute heart failure due to heart attacks, dilated cardiomyopathies and post-cardiotomy shock and sustained patients with end stage congestive heart failure until a precious donor organ has become available for transplantation. In an attempt to address the growing imbalance between demand and supply of donor hearts, and armed with great hope and excitement, investigators are now examining these devices as potential alternatives to cardiac transplantation. This book describes in detail the historical evolution, current knowledge, and future trends in the field of mechanical circulatory support. It will be of greatest interest to cardiologists, circulatory physiologists, cardiac anaesthesiologists, critical care physicians, cardiac surgeons, and other healthcare professionals who are challenged daily with the care of patients with acute and chronic heart failure.

It is a complete reference on this interesting and constantly changing topic. The book is highly educational and an outstanding contribution to the field." (Doody's Review Service)"Cardiac Assist Devices fills an important need by covering a fast-growing field in cardiac medicine and surgery." (Texas Heart Institute Journal)"Drs. Goldstein and Oz have put their names to a landmark book in the field of mechanical cardiac support. They have drawn 70 authors together, each well known in this field and each recognized for their contribution to this rapidly developing service. These authors represent the historical breadth and world's experience of this fascinating subject.... All those in the field will want access to it and because of its quality will want to own it. All those who wish to comment on this subject will be better informed by reading it. And those who just wish to be aware of what is going on in the arena of mechanical assistance of the failing heart will thoroughly enjoy the authoritative read."
