Cytoprotection is a process by which chemical compounds provide protection to cells against harmful agents. For example, a gastric cytoprotectant is any medication that combats ulcers not by reducing gastric acid but by increasing mucosal protection. Examples of gastric cytoprotective agents include prostaglandins which protect the stomach mucosa against injury by increasing gastric mucus secretion.

Types of VAD. VADs are usually classified according to the mode of blood flow, namely pulsatile or continuous. Continuous types can be further subdivided based on the biomechanics of the pump: centrifugal or axial. Some continuous VADs can create pulsatile waveforms by periodically changing the pump speed.
