Mechanical Circulatory Support: Principles and Applications

Mechanical Circulatory Support: Principles and Applications is a comprehensive
overview of the past, present and future development of mechanical circulatory and
respiratory support devices. This book is written as a useful resource for biomedical
engineers and clinicians who are designing new mechanical circulatory or respiratory
support devices,while also providing a comprehensive book ofthe entire field for those
who are already familiar with some areas and want to learn more. Reviews of the most
cutting-edge research are provided throughout each chapter, along with guides on
how to design new devices and which areas require specific focus for future research
and development.This bookcovers a variety ofdisciplines,from anatomy oforgansand
evolution ofcardiovascular devices,to their clinicalapplications andthemanufacturing
and marketing of devices. It is also provides engineering and clinical perspectives to
assist readersin the design of a market appropriate device.
