“…The two traditional types of VADs, impeller type and displacement type, are usually installed in parallel with the native left ventricle, by cannulating the inlet of the VAD in the left atrium or left ventricular apex, and the outlet of the VAD in the ascending or descending aorta (Mahmood et al, 2000). Previous research indicated that for VAD inlet cannulation the left ventricle cannulation configuration would be preferable, as it allows for more blood to be drained into the VAD thus reducing the work of the native ventricle (Tevaearai et al, 2001).…”

“…9 Evidence suggests the potential demand in patients under 60 years old for transplantation in England and Wales is between 10 and 15 per million, far exceeding the supply of donor hearts (2 per million). 10 The supply of donor organs has decreased considerably in the UK over the last 10 years, which, along with improvements in the treatment of heart failure, has led to a decrease in the number of people admitted to the transplant waiting list and receiving a heart transplant ( Table 1). The growing disparity between the supply of donor organs and the need and demand for heart transplantation has resulted in prolonged time and increasing mortality on the waiting list.…”

It looks to describe the condition and its epidemiology, aetiology and prognosis prior to estimating the possible need and demand for healthcare from those with ESHF.…”

Non-UK purchasers will have to pay a small fee for post and packing. For European countries the cost is £2 per monograph and for the rest of the world £3 per monograph.You can order HTA monographs from our Despatch Agents:-fax (with credit card or official purchase order) -post (with credit card or official purchase order or cheque) -phone during office hours (credit card only).Additionally the HTA website allows you either to pay securely by credit card or to print out your order and then post or fax it. NHS libraries can subscribe free of charge. Public libraries can subscribe at a very reduced cost of £100 for each volume (normally comprising 30-40 titles). The commercial subscription rate is £300 per volume. Please see our website for details. Subscriptions can only be purchased for the current or forthcoming volume. Contact details are as follows: Payment methods Paying by chequeIf you pay by cheque, the cheque must be in pounds sterling, made payable to Direct Mail Works Ltd and drawn on a bank with a UK address. Paying by credit cardThe following cards are accepted by phone, fax, post or via the website ordering pages: Delta, Eurocard, Mastercard, Solo, Switch and Visa. We advise against sending credit card details in a plain email. Paying by official purchase orderYou can post or fax these, but they must be from public bodies (i.e. NHS or universities) within the UK. We cannot at present accept purchase orders from commercial companies or from outside the UK. How do I get a copy of HTA on CD?Please use the form on the HTA website (www.hta.ac.uk/htacd.htm). Or contact Direct Mail Works (see contact details above) by email, post, fax or phone. HTA on CD is currently free of charge worldwide.The website also provides information about the HTA Programme and lists the membership of the various committees. HTAThe clinical and cost-effectiveness of left ventricular assist devices for end-stage heart failure: a systematic review and economic evaluation NHS R&D HTA ProgrammeT he research findings from the NHS R&D Health Technology Assessment (HTA) Programme directly influence key decision-making bodies such as the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the National Screening Committee (NSC) who rely on HTA outputs to help raise standards of care. HTA findings also help to improve the quality of the service in the NHS indirectly in that they form a key component of the 'National Knowledge Service' that is being developed to improve the evidence of clinical practice throughout the NHS.The HTA Programme was set up in 1993. Its role is to ensure that high-quality research information on the costs, effectiveness and broader impact of health technologies is produced in the most efficient way for those who use, manage and provide care in the NHS. 'Health technologies' are broadly defined to include all interventions used to promote health, prevent and treat disease, and improve rehabilitation and long-term care, rather than settings of care.The HTA Programme commissions research only on topics...
