Research progress on self-care of patients with left ventricular assist devices
With the increase in the number of patients with heart failure and the improvement of medical care,the prevalence of patients with end-stage heart failure is increasing.Due to the limited donor supply for heart transplantation,the implantation of left ventricular assist devices has become a major alternative treatment option for patients with end-stage heart failure.Patients with left ventricular assist device have to face potential heart failure and long-term self-care related to left ventricular assist devices.It is of great significance to comprehensively evaluate the level of self-care behavior of patients with left ventricular assist devices and to formulate targeted self-care guidance programs to improve their prognosis.This article reviewed the concept and connotation,assessment tools,current status,influencing factors and intervention of self-care of patients with left ventricular assist devices,in order to provide theoretical basis and practical guidance for improving the self-care level of patients with left ventricular assist devices,so as to improve the quality of life and improve the prognosis of patients.
