Outline of Final Research Achievements

Since implantable left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) with smaller configurations became available for bridge-totransplant or even destination therapy in patients with end-stage heart failure, an increasing number of patients with these devices are receiving home medical management. However, these patients may be anxious about potential complications such as pump failure, thromboembolism, and infections that may occur during home management. To provide a sense of security during home management of patients with LVAD and to establish an ideal shared-care system, we developed a patient-centered home management system for patients with LVAD.
