Italy developed a new type of LVAD to help the diseased heart beat better

Release date: 2007-05-11

In 2007, Italy introduced a groundbreaking advancement in heart support technology with the development of a new Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD). This innovative system, known as BestBeat, is designed to provide more natural and physiologically compatible assistance for patients suffering from severe heart failure. Unlike traditional LVADs, the BestBeat system works automatically and synchronizes its pulsation with the patient’s own left ventricle, reducing the workload on the heart and enhancing its ability to handle physical activity and metabolic demands.

The system is capable of adjusting to varying levels of left ventricular afterload, ensuring it can adapt to the specific needs of each patient while maintaining synchronized counterpulsation. This feature is especially beneficial for long-term use in cases where the heart requires rest and recovery, such as during bypass grafting procedures. The adjustable load also allows physicians to manage the weaning process effectively, ensuring continuous support without compromising blood flow.

Developed by NewCorTec in Rome, Italy, with technical collaboration from et medical devices in Cavareno, the BestBeat system was undergoing clinical trials in France and Germany at the time of this report. This innovation represents a significant step forward in cardiac care, offering a more personalized and efficient solution for patients in need of advanced heart support. — China Medicine 123 Network
