The Texas Heart Institute, #BiVACOR®, CHI St. Luke's Health - Baylor St. Luke's Medical Center, and Baylor College of Medicine completed the first successful human #implantation of the BiVACOR Total Artificial Heart (TAH) on July 9, 2024. The procedure, performed at Baylor St. Luke’s Medical Center, showed no complications and excellent performance, and four more patients will be enrolled in this human clinical study. Heart failure affects over 26 million people globally, and those experiencing #heartfailure have severely limited #transplant options. The BiVACOR® TAH is expected to function as a life-saving bridge-to-transplant treatment for patients with severe #ventricular heart failure. This rotary blood pump, designed with an innovative magnetic rotor that replaces both ventricles of a failing heart, directly addresses a critical need for mechanical circulatory support. Collaborative efforts like these are paving the way towards life-saving changes in cardiac care. https://ow.ly/eP2I50STRmW

There is a direct link between kidney disease and cardiovascular health. Taken from the AHA, "Cardiovascular rather than end-stage kidney disease (CKD stage 5) is the leading cause of death in this high-risk population. CKD causes a systemic, chronic proinflammatory state contributing to vascular and myocardial remodeling processes resulting in atherosclerotic lesions, vascular calcification, and vascular senescence as well as myocardial fibrosis and calcification of cardiac valves. In this respect, CKD mimics an accelerated aging of the cardiovascular system." https://lnkd.in/eKDSb9Pf Below are some components to help improve cardiovascular health for patients with kidney disease:

Many children with #CHD will need to have a cardiac catheterization at some point in their lives. This can feel scary and overwhelming for the child and their family. Dr. James Kuo of Cook Children’s joined us for a webinar where he discusses cardiac catheterization, why it is done, how it is done, and what else can be done during a catheterization.

40 years after the first clinical practice guideline on cardiac pacemakers, the ACC and the AHA continue to evolve the guideline process – and the documents themselves – to ensure clinicians are able to optimize the care and outcomes of patients with CVD.

**Unlocking the Potential of Palliative Care in Heart Failure: A Paradigm Shift** Did you know that integrating palliative care into the management of heart failure can significantly enhance the quality of life for patients? Amidst our relentless pursuit of groundbreaking medical interventions, it's crucial to remember that comprehensive patient care extends beyond traditional treatments. The journey toward incorporating palliative care into heart failure treatment plans is not just about managing symptoms but also about addressing the holistic needs of patients and their families. It involves careful coordination between various healthcare professionals to ensure that both the physical and emotional aspects of heart disease are treated with sensitivity and compassion. Through my experiences at Yale School of Medicine, I've witnessed firsthand the transformative power of palliative care in heart failure. By fostering open lines of communication, setting realistic health goals, and providing emotional support, we can offer a beacon of hope to those navigating the complexities of advanced heart disease. Let's champion a shift towards integrating palliative care in heart failure management. By doing so, we not only improve outcomes but also honor the dignity and wishes of our patients at every stage. Together, we can redefine what it means to provide truly holistic and compassionate cardiac care. #HeartFailure #PalliativeCare #Cardiology #PatientCare
