Often associated with artificial hearts, ventricular assist devices (VADs) are blood pumps that can provide circulatory assistance to the left ventricle, the right ventricle, or both. Bioengineering and Biomaterials in Ventricular Assist Devices reviews constructive details of VADs and the biomaterials used in their development and support.
FEATURES
Establishes an area of intersection between engineering and medicine
Shows process development from mechanical design to automation and control
Discusses biofunctional materials, tribology in ceramic biomaterials, biosensors, and surface engineering and blood
This text is aimed at advanced students, researchers, and practicing engineers conducting work on VADs and will be of interest to a broad interdisciplinary group, including bioengineers, materials engineers, chemical engineers, mechanical engineers, and electrical engineers.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"This edited volume focuses on the engineering and blood-materials interactions in ventricular assist devices (VADs). These are complex marvels of the medical field and a success story of biomedical engineering in the 20th century. All the authors come from academic institutions in Brazil, but the work is general, and interest in it is not limited to this geographical region. A well-organized overview of VADs precedes more-detailed concepts, including actuators, simulation circuits, and control systems. Some autobiographical information related to contributing authors will interest students of the history and social aspects of biomedical science. Informative tables offer quantitative, clinically relevant information on VAD devices. Equations, data graphs, and diagrams are well used, and sparing use of color figures enhances understanding. The biomaterials chapters are less quantitative, by their nature, although they will likely still interest practitioners and students of the field. This is a very well done review and a useful reference: readers are offered an in-depth appreciation of the recent history of this field."
Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates. Graduate students, faculty, and professionals.
