The social life of neurons: Synaptic communication deficits as a common denominator of autism, schizophrenia, and other cognitive disorders

摘要

Hospitalization and deaths due to HF continue to rise with the aging of the overall population. Advances in technology have allowed patients with end-stage cardiac failure and cardiogenic shock to survive longer and have an improved quality of life. The care of the patient with HF has evolved to the point that it requires a multidisciplinary approach involving primary caregivers, HF specialists, electrophysiologists, surgeons, and social workers. The future of device technology will involve earlier implantation of devices, smaller device size, and fully implanted systems.
