Abstract
The field of pediatric mechanical circulatory support has undergone a significant evolution with the advent of devices designed for children and the implementation of new strategies for deployment. With the ongoing shortage of organs the demand for new devices specifically designed for children will only increase. This review discusses the evolution of mechanical circulatory support, available devices, and the implementation of new strategies for their deployment.

Advances in Managing Cardiogenic Shock and the Value of Percutaneous Mechanical Circulatory Support
Despite the advances in cardiology, the outcomes of patients with cardiogenic shock remain poor. There is an increasing interest and use of mechanical circulatory support for patients with cardiogenic shock. Additionally, the complexity of coronary interventions has increased during the last decade with the potential of treating more high-risk patients ...read more
Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Cardiovascular Disease
Artificial Intelligence (AI) in cardiovascular disease is an emerging interdisciplinary field that integrates advanced technologies to improve patient care. The current AI landscape faces significant challenges, including the complexity of diagnosing and treating these conditions. Recent studies have shown promising results in the use of AI for early detection, diagnosis, ...read more
Chronic Disease Self-Management for Heart Failure – A Mini Review into Performance Gaps
Chronic disease self-management (CDSM) is a vital component of chronic disease management. There remain several important deficits in this concept. Its benefit are clear, many chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, asthma, rheumatology syndromes have shown benefit in quality of life and quantitative measures of outcomes. Yet, in congestive heart ...read more
The Era of Cardiac Medication and Implantable Devices Therapy in Heart Failure Treatment Continues
The heart failure (HF) remains a serious public health problem and affects 64 million people worldwide. Although advances in medical therapy and device assistance have significantly improved HF outcomes, the implications of HF are still dramatic. In recent years, innovative developments have been made in HF treatment management, based on ...read more
