Special Issue Information

Dear colleagues,

Assisted circulation techniques and devices have made rapid progress over the last several decades, which plays a more and more important role in clinic for hemodynamic support and promotion. Thereinto, invasive assisted circulation (i.g. IABP, VAD and ECMO) provides acute or long-term circulatory support for severe cardiopulmonary dysfunction patients. And non-invasive assisted circulation (i.g. external counterpulsation and intermittent pneumatic compression) can locally and/or systemically improve hemodynamic environment for patients with chronic ischemic cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Although the hemodynamic performance induced by assisted circulation plays the key role for its clinical applications and the development of devices, the impact of assisted circulation intervention on vascular segments and specific tissue and organs is also essential and need to be carefully estimated, considering the significant variations in hemodynamic and biomechanical environments. To encounter the needs of more advanced assisted circulation techniques and devices with better clinical benefits and risk management, deep understanding of the hemodynamic effects and biomechanical responses in multiple vascular segments, organs and tissue during and post assisted circulation intervention stands out as important contributions.
This Special Issue on invasive and non-invasive assisted circulation focuses on the current state of knowledge on instant blood flow behavior in different vascular segments and organs, on redistributions of hemodynamic parameters in specific arterial sites, and on biomechanical responses in arterial wall and atherosclerotic plaque. The topics of interests include but are not limited to the above.
We welcome a diversity of articles, such as conceptual and empirical articles, reviews, and critical comments, for submission to this Special Issue. We will accept manuscripts from different disciplines, addressing topics related to the scope
