Despite advances in medical therapy for patients with stage C heart failure (HF), survival for
patients with advanced HF is< 20% at 5 years. Durable left ventricular assist device (dLVAD) …

The accurate assessment of hemodynamics is paramount to provide timely and efficacious
care for patients presenting in cardiogenic shock. Recently, the regular use of the pulmonary …

Ventricular assist devices (VADs) offer mechanical support for patients with cardiogenic
shock by unloading the impaired ventricle and increasing cardiac outflow and subsequent …

Background It is critical to identify patients at increased risk of right ventricular failure (RVF)
before left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation. Pulmonary artery pulsatility index …

Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are increasingly common across the heart failure
population. Right ventricular failure (RVF) is a feared complication that can occur in the early …

Aims Pulmonary artery pulsatility index (PAPi) is an indicator of right ventricular (RV)
function and an independent predictor of right ventricular failure (RVF) following left …

Cardiac reserve is a widely used health indicator and prognostic tool. Although it is well
established how to assess cardiac reserve clinically, in preclinical models, it is more …

Abstract Purpose of Review Summarize developments in the early postoperative care of
patients undergoing cardiac transplantation or left ventricular assist device implantation …

Introduction Right heart failure (RHF) is a well-known complication after left ventricular assist
device (LVAD) implantation and portends increased morbidity and mortality. Understanding …

Background A left ventricular assist device (LVAD) is an effective therapeutic option for
advanced heart failure. Late right heart failure (LRHF) is a complication after LVAD …
