Abstract:
Implantation of the HeartMate 3 (HM3) left ventricular assist device (Abbott Laboratories, Lake Bluff, IL) continues to increase as the results of European and U.S. clinical trials become available. Although the large trials adequately capture the more common and expected outcomes, rare and unexpected clinical complications will continue to appear with higher volumes of implantation. This report describes a rare complication of severe refractory postural dizziness and syncope after successful implantation of an HM3 in a patient who ultimately required pump exchange to a HeartWare HVAD (HeartWare, Framingham, MA) for resolution of symptoms.

Oxygen
Atmospheric air is only about 20 percent oxygen, but that oxygen is a key component of the chemical reactions that keep the body alive, including the reactions that produce ATP. Brain cells are susceptible to a lack of oxygen because they require a...

ATP Driven Pumps II: P-type Pumps
A typical P-type pump has three cytosolic domains: nucleotide-binding (N), phosphorylation (P), and activator (A) domains. These domains are connected to the membrane-spanning helices by short amino acid segments. ATP hydrolysis and covalent phosphoenzyme intermediate formation are crucial parts of the catalytic cycle. At the highly...
