Our work on a "sense-and-respond" epicardial drug delivery device is out today. This soft, multifunctional reservoir conforms and adheres to the heart surface without sutures, can sense epicardial ECG and deliver anti-arrhythmics as needed. Multiple reservoirs can be used for.

So wonderful to play a part in this review, with an allstar surgeon/engineering team. We review the current and emerging technology for durable MCS devices, and discuss how we can work together to move the field forward. I learned so much from these ladies! See you at #THT2024.

Great thread from @manisha_s1ngh on our right robotic ventricle work.
Left heart simulators have advanced, but replicating the complexities of the right ventricle remains a noticeable gap. In our recent paper in @NatureCVR, we addressed this challenge, shifting the spotlight to the right heart.

This was an amazing team effort, and we're only getting started with recapitulating different disease states, other parts of the heart, and testing various surgical and transcatheter interventions.

There are a number of innovative interventions being developed specifically to treat right ventricular dysfunction and tricuspid valve disease - we want to help to test them in a tunable, anatomically and biomechanically accurate model.
