Often associated with artificial hearts ventricular assist devices (VADs) are blood pumps that can provide circulatory assistance to the left ventricle the right ventricle or both. Bioengineering and Biomaterials in Ventricular Assist Devices reviews constructive details of VADs and the biomaterials used in their development and support. FEATURES Establishes an area of intersection between engineering and medicine Shows process development from mechanical design to automation and control Discusses biofunctional materials tribology in ceramic biomaterials biosensors and surface engineering and blood This text is aimed at advanced students researchers and practicing engineers conducting work on VADs and will be of interest to a broad interdisciplinary group including bioengineers materials engineers chemical engineers mechanical engineers and electrical engineers.|Bioengineering and Biomaterials in Ventricular Assist Devices | Bioengineering
