Optimized SYNERGY® Circulatory Support System Achieves Positive Outcomes in CE Mark Trial

The optimized SYNERGY circulatory support system, designed to reverse the symptoms of heart failure in emergency situations, such as ambulance rides. The major side effects of similar circulatory support pumps, such as bleeding, infection, and stroke trended significantly lower in the SYNERGY system. Another important advantage of the pump, is that it supplements, and helps improve heart function, rather than replace it. This means that the heart will actually be stronger upon the removal of the circulatory aid, making it a viable option for individuals with failing hearts.

Relevance to class:

In class the heart function was studied, blood flow from the right atrium and ventricle, to the pulmonary artery, to the lungs, to the left atrium, and then to the left ventricle where it is pumped to the entire body. The pump aids in the contraction of the left ventricle, allowing for improved blood flow to the entire body.
