Barnard, James; Tsui, Steven S. L.
- Abstract
The increasing prevalence of heart failure coupled with the shortage of donor hearts has lead to an ever-growing demand for mechanical devices that can augment or replace the failing human heart. This article describes the modalities used to treat end-stage heart failure and how these fit into a cardiac replacement therapy programme.
