Epidemiology of cardiovascular disease in the United States: implications for the perfusion profession. A 2017 update.

CONCLUSIONS: There are many different factors affecting the need for perfusionists in the future. An increasing and aging population with a higher prevalence of CVD, an increased number of hospitals offering cardiovascular services and increased access to care increases the need for perfusion services. It is important for the perfusion profession to follow these changing trends in CVD and treatment in order to plan for the future. PMID: 28820030 [PubMed - in process]
