The new study found that this soft cup-shaped mechanism can hold the heart and help it pump blood to the body, reducing the stress on patients with heart function defects.
The device is designed to restore the heart's pumping function with the help of mechanical external forces for those who are experiencing heart problems. According to information from the American Heart Association, about 5.7 million people in the United States are experiencing heart problems, and the country will pay $30.7 billion annually.
At present, the doctor's solution to this problem is mainly to use a device called a ventricular assist device. The device includes a mechanical pump that is implanted in the abdomen or worn on the body, while the mechanical pump links the heart through several catheters. The main purpose is to help the blood circulation, but it will directly contact the blood, which may lead to blood clots. Conversely, side effects are a risk of death or severe stroke. Between this potential threat, patients must take anti-coagulant drugs that dilute the blood to resolve possible bleeding.
The new device looks more like a heart-shaped device, so it doesn't have to touch the blood, reducing the number of complications.
The material of the device is elastic silicone, which is used to mimic the flexibility of natural heart muscles. The researchers said that when filled with air, the implant will become more balloon-like, harden after pressurization, and decompression will relax. Of course, it is also equipped with a pressure sensor to monitor the pressure in real time.
