Relationship between device acceptance and patient-reported outcomes in left ventricular assist device (LVAD) recipients [PDF]
The number of Left Ventricular Assist Devices (LVADs) implanted each year is rising. Nevertheless, there are minimal data on device acceptance after LVAD implant, and on its relationship with patient-reported outcomes. We designed a cross-sectional study
