High Performance Artificial Muscles to Engineer a Ventricular Cardiac Assist Device and Future Prospective of a Cardiac Sleeve

Dharshika Kongahage et al.

Summary: There is a critical need for ventricular assist devices (VADs) that can support complex biological functions, such as heart muscle contraction. Current challenges include the portability and lack of pulsatility of VADs, requiring long-term blood-thinning medications for patients with VADs. A new concept of VADs is proposed, aiming to improve power system with miniaturization and pulsatility control.
