The system is used all over the world for temporary left, right, or biventricular (both ventricles) support in patients with potentially reversible heart failure.
What are the symptoms of heart failure?
1-Left-sided heart failure :
* Shortness of breath together with a reduction in mobility.
* In less severe cases, breathing problems only start upon exertion.
* A dry cough may develop that doesn't go away.
* Fatigue
2-Right-sided heart failure and biventricular failure
* Swelling in the legs (oedema).
* Oedema may lead to dry skin on the lower part of the legs because of pressure from inside the tissue.
*There may be an eczema-type rash on legs, which can be complicated by ulcers that do not heal (venous leg ulcers).
*Possible accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity and organs, especially the liver. The organs swell and the abdominal wall might expand.
