Relationship between device acceptance and patient-reported outcomes in left ventricular assist device (LVAD) recipients [PDF]

, 2019
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
