Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/10/2013 -- Cardiac Assist Devices (CAD) are mechanical pumps that work in conjunction with a patient's heart to improve the pumping efficiency, increase the cardiac output and restore normal blood circulation. The devices are typically employed in patients suffering from end-stage Congestive Heart Failure (CHF), where the chances of survival through oral medications alone become minimal. The scarcity of donor organs has led to the development of interim interventions that utilize CADs, which comprise three segments: Ventricular Assist Devices (VAD), Intra-Aortic Balloon Pumps (IABP), and Total Artificial Hearts (TAH).
