Left Ventricular Diastolic Function Similar After On-Pump and Off-Pump CABG
Left ventricular (LV) diastolic function improvement after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) is similar regardless of whether the patient undergoes surgery on-pump or off-pump, according to a report in the March 1st issue of The American Journal of Cardiology.
Comparison of Pulsatile With Nonpulsatile Mechanical Support in a Porcine Model of Profound Cardiogenic Shock
The aim of this study was to examine whether pulsatility by intraaortic balloon counterpulsation (IABP) is an important adjunct to the treatment of profound cardiogenic shock (CS) with a widely used, nonpulsatile centrifugal pump (CP).
