Preload Sensitivity in Cardiac Assist Devices [PDF]

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2013
With implantable cardiac assist devices increasingly proving their effectiveness as therapeutic options for end-stage heart failure, it is important for clinicians to understand the unique physiology of device-assisted circulation. Preload sensitivity as it relates to cardiac assist devices is derived from the Frank-Starling relationship between human ...
