Book Cardiovascular and Cardiac Therapeutic Devices

Download or read book Cardiovascular and Cardiac Therapeutic Devices written by Thomas Franz and published by Springer Science & Business. This book was released on 2014-04-17 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume focuses on latest research in therapeutic devices for cardiovascular, i.e. vascular and valvular and cardiac diseases. In the area of vascular therapies, aspects covered relate to latest research in small-diameter tissue-regenerative vascular grafts, one of the greatest persisting challenges in cardiovascular therapies, stent grafts and endovascular stents for percutaneous arterial interventions. Contributions on valvular therapies focus on tissue engineered and tissue regenerative prosthetic heart valves and valvular prostheses for trans-apical implantation including the challenges posed on the prosthesis design. The section on cardiac diseases aims at covering therapeutic advances for myocardial infarction and prevention of heart failure and on in vivo biomechanics of implantable cardiac pacemaker devices. A further section complements these three areas by presenting constitutive modelling of soft biological tissues of the cardiovascular system, an area imperative for advanced numerical and computational modelling in the development and optimisation of cardiovascular devices and therapies.

This book was released on 2015-02-05 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cardiovascular biomaterials (CB) dominate the category of biomaterials based on the demand and investments in this field. This book classifies CB into three major classes, namely, metals, polymers, and biological materials and collates the information about the CB. Blood compatibility is one of the major criteria which limit the use of biomaterials for cardiovascular application. Several key players are associated with blood compatibility are briefly discussed. To enhance the compatibility of the CB, several surface modification strategies were in use currently. Some recent applications of surface modification technology on the materials for cardiovascular devices were also discussed for better understanding. Finally, the current trend of the CB, endothelization of the cardiac implants and utilization of induced human pluripotent stem cells (ihPSCs), is also presented. The field of CB is growing constantly and many new investigators and researchers are developing interest in this domain. This book will serve as a one stop arrangement to quickly grasp the basic research in the field of CB.
