As an important means of treating heart failure (HF), cardiac assist device has been widely used in clinic. This paper reviews the application status, existing problems and future development trend of cardiac assist devices, including the classification of cardiac assist devices, representative research achievements and indications of the assist devices. It also summarizes the biomechanical indexes of the heart and the new approaches and methods for treating heart failure, as well as the hemodynamic studies of cardiac assist devices in recent years. The research findings provide references for further optimization of cardiac assist device structure and clinical application of the device.
