Background and Purpose: The diverse causes of right-sided heart failure (RHF) include,
among others, primary cardiomyopathies with right ventricular (RV) involvement, RV …

Background: Right ventricular failure (RVF) is a cause of major morbidity and mortality after
left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation. It is, therefore, integral to identify patients …

Long-term mechanical circulatory support (LT-MCS) is an important treatment modality for
patients with severe heart failure. Different devices are available, and many—sometimes …

Despite improvements in pharmacological therapy and pacing, prognosis in advanced heart
failure (HF) remains poor, with a 1‐year mortality of 25–50%. While heart transplantation …

Right ventricular failure (RVF) after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation is
associated with increased morbidity and mortality, but the identification of LVAD candidates …

Background: The aim of the study was to derive and validate a novel risk score for early right-
sided heart failure (RHF) after left ventricular assist device implantation. Methods: The …
