Hemodynamic stabilization is crucial in managing acute cardiac events, where compromised blood flow can lead to severe complications and increased mortality. Conditions like decompensated heart failure (HF) and cardiogenic shock require rapid and eff...
BACKGROUND: Significant variability in outcomes after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation emphasize the importance of accurately assessing patients' risk before surgery. This study assesses the Machine Learning Assessment of Risk and E...
The heart's intricate myocardial architecture has been called the Gordian knot of anatomy, an impossible tangle of intricate muscle fibers. This complexity dictates equally complex cardiac motions that are difficult to mimic in physical systems. If t...
BACKGROUND: The improvement of controllers of left ventricular assist device (LVAD) technology supporting heart failure (HF) patients has enormous impact, given the high prevalence and mortality of HF in the population. The use of reinforcement learn...

Accurate activity classification is essential for the advancement of closed-loop control for left ventricular assist devices (LVADs), as it provides necessary feedback to adapt device operation to the patient's current state. Therefore, this study ai...
AIMS: Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a potential useful tool to support clinical treatment of heart failure, including the setting of mechanical circulatory support (MCS). Modern Impella pumps are equipped with advanced technology (Smart...
BACKGROUND: Although previous risk models exist for advanced heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), few integrate invasive hemodynamics or support missing data. This study developed and validated a heart failure (HF) hemodynamic risk a...
