Details: Product Description
Advances in Cardiovascular Technology: New Devices and Concepts is a comprehensive reference for cardiovascular devices of all types. For engineers, this book provides a basic understanding of underlying pathologies and their prevalence/incidence. It also covers what devices are available, how they are clinically used, and their impact on pathophysiology. In addition, the book presents the constraints imposed on device design and manufacture by the environment in which it is used (e.g., exposure to tissues within the body, blood in particular) and the primary requirements for each specific type of device, including its durability and resistance to fatigue.
For clinicians, this book contains information on the primary engineering challenges, the types of devices available, their advantages and disadvantages, and the (current and emerging) tools and materials available to device designers.
Review
A ‘one-stop shop’ for both clinical and engineering insight into all types of cardiovascular devices

Advances in Cardiovascular Technology: New Devices and Concepts is a comprehensive reference for cardiovascular devices of all types. For engineers, this book provides a basic understanding of the underlying pathologies and their prevalence/incidence.  It also covers what devices are available, how they are used clinically and their impact on pathophysiology. The book presents the constraints imposed on device design and manufacture by the environment in which it is used (eg exposure to tissues within the body and to blood in particular) and the primary requirements for each specific type of device including its durability and resistance to fatigue.  For clinicians, this book contains information on the primary engineering challenges, the types of devices available and their advantages and disadvantages, and the (current and emerging) tools and materials available to device designers.  How the requirements for a device are specified is also discussed.
About the Author
Jamshid H. Karimov, MD, PhD, FAHA, FACC is a cardiac surgeon, researcher, inventor and author with extensive experience in device therapies for heart failure, mechanical circulatory support, total artificial hearts, cardiac replacement, and minimally invasive cardiac surgical techniques.
He is currently affiliated with the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve University, and the Department of Biomedical Engineering, Molecular Medicine, Cleveland Clinic Lerner Research Institute. Dr. Karimov’s research interests and innovative work focus on development of simple surgical devices, new methodologies, advanced cardiac therapies, and platform technologies for cardiovascular applications.
As an inventor and Principal Investigator, Dr. Karimov conducted first-in-man efforts at Cleveland Clinic. He has achieved the longest in vivo duration for continuous flow total artificial heart implantation. He has also introduced innovative methods for intraoperative cardiac device management and designed new cardiovascular devices.

Kiyotaka Fukamachi, MD, PhD, is a cardiovascular surgeon by training and has been working full-time in research since joining Cleveland Clinic in 1990. He is Director of the Cardiovascular Dynamics Lab and Section Head of Biomechanical Devices in the Cleveland Clinic Department of Biomedical Engineering. He is also a Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering and Department of Molecular Medicine at Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve University.
Dr. Fukamachi has extensive experience in the development and evaluation of mechanical circulatory support devices such as the Cleveland Clinic-Nimbus total artificial heart (TAH), CorAide™ left ventricular assist device (LVAD), MagScrew TAH and LVAD, PediPump™ pediatric circulatory assist device, DexAide right ventricular assist device (RVAD), continuous-flow TA
