Machine learning, artificial intelligence and mechanical circulatory support: A primer for clinicians.

The Journal of heart and lung transplantation : the official publication of the International Society for Heart Transplantation
Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the ability of machines to perform intelligent tasks, and machine learning (ML) is a subset of AI describing the ability of machines to learn independently and make accurate predictions. The application of AI co...

Machine Learning Approaches to Analyzing Adverse Events Following Durable LVAD Implantation.

The Annals of thoracic surgery
BACKGROUND: This study employed machine learning approaches to analyze sequences of adverse events (AEs) after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation.

Continuous-Flow Left Ventricular Assist Devices and Valvular Heart Disease: A Comprehensive Review.

The Canadian journal of cardiology
Mechanical circulatory support with implantable durable continuous-flow left ventricular assist devices (CF-LVADs) represents an established surgical treatment option for patients with advanced heart failure refractory to guideline-directed medical t...

The Role of GDF-15 in Heart Failure Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease.

The Canadian journal of cardiology
BACKGROUND: Growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15) is a stress-inducible cytokine and member of the transforming growth factor-β cytokine superfamily that refines prognostic assessment in subgroups of patients with heart failure (HF). We evaluated...

Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithm Assisted by an Artificial Neural Network Metamodel for Shape Optimization of a Centrifugal Blood Pump.

Artificial organs
A centrifugal blood pump is a common type of the pump used as a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) in the medical industries. The reduction of the LVADs hemolysis level to reduce the blood damage is one of the major concerns in designing of such d...

Pump Speed Optimization in Patients Implanted With the HeartMate 3 Device.

Transplantation proceedings
BACKGROUND: Pump speed optimization in patients implanted with a ventricular assist device represents a major challenge during the follow-up period. We present our findings on whether combined invasive hemodynamic ramp tests and cardiopulmonary exerc...

Viscosity Prediction in a Physiologically Controlled Ventricular Assist Device.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: We present a novel machine learning model to accurately predict the blood-analog viscosity during support of a pathological circulation with a rotary ventricular assist device (VAD). The aim is the continuous monitoring of the hematocrit (...
