Abstract:
The treatment of heart failure is a common clinical problem faced by the medical community all over the world. It is also the only cardiovascular disease in the world that is on the rise. Although drug therapy for heart failure has made great progress in recent years, there are still many problems. Therefore, reversing ventricular remodeling, assisting or even replacing the function of the damaged heart and improving the prognosis and quality of life of patients with heart failure through surgical treatment will become the main battlefield for the future treatment of heart failure. As a transitional support therapy or permanent replacement therapy before heart transplantation, ventricular assist device can significantly improve the survival and quality of life of patients with heart failure, and is becoming an important treatment method for patients with end-stage heart failure. This paper aim to review the history and prospect of ventricular assist devices after heart failure.
