Experience with left ventricular assist device usage in the treatment of end-stage heart failure [PDF]

Кардіохірургія та інтервенційна кардіологія, 2017
Heart failure potentially developing in most of heart diseases is a progressive process associated with high morbidity and mortality. Almost 3/4 of patients die within five years after first hospitalization because of heart failure.
