Tunable SoftRobotic Sleeves
ln article number 2310085, Ellen T. Roche and co‐workers present a tunable porcine model of the hemodynamics of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) using implantable soft robotic left ventricular and aortic sleeves that modulate cardiac compliance and afterload. This research addresses the lack of a disease model for high‐fidelity preclinical evaluation...
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a major challenge in cardiovascular medicine, accounting for ≈50% of all cases of heart failure. Despite the ongoing efforts, no medical device has yet received FDA approval. This is largely due to the lack of an in vivo model of the HFpEF hemodynamics, resulting in the inability to evaluate device effectiveness in vivo prior to clinical trials...
