The ABC's of Stroke Prevention: Reduction in Stroke Frequency Following a Quality Improvement Intervention by the Action Learning Network
To assess the frequency of stroke among ventricular assist device patients following a quality improvement bundled intervention (the “ABCs of Stroke Prevention” [ABCs] which focused on Anticoagulation, Blood pressure, and Communication) within the Advanced Cardiac Therapies Improving Outcomes Network (ACTION). The bundle intervention comprised 3 interventions. These were: a document harmonizing how to implement and maintain b ivalirudin infusion, a blood pressure management protocol and a daily stroke prevention checklist.

Risk Predictors for Ischemic Stroke in CF-LVAD Patients by Pump Flow Type
Risk of stroke continues to be a major adverse event post-LVAD implantation, limiting wider application and utility of the device. Even with aggressive blood pressure control, patients with LVADs are at higher risk of stroke due to combination of pump-dependent factors including loss of natural pulsatility, anticoagulation, and thrombosis risk from blood-pump interaction. We used a Bayesian Network machine-learning approach to derive comparative risk factors for ischemic stroke in patients with axial versus centrifugal flow pumps at 3 months post LVAD implant.

Breath Analysis Using a Time‐of‐Flight Camera and Pressure Belts
Abstract The proper way of breathing is important for everyone. Healthy people often do not follow respiration until breathing problems start—during stress or during sport activity in physiological cases. More serious cases are stroke, injury, or surgery of the chest and others. So, learning to breathe correctly and/or breathing diagnosis is considerable for many reasons. Two novel methods of breath analysis suitable for diagnostics and rehabilitation are presented. The first technique utilizes pressure belts fastened to the patient's belly and chest, and the second method relies on a SwissRanger SR‐4000 time‐of‐fl...
