Stroke and Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD)
Open Journal of Anesthesiology, 2013 Treatment of ischemic stroke for a patient on left ventricular assist device (LVAD) by neurointerventional means is rare and many anesthesia providers are unfamiliar with both LVAD and neurointerventional protocols. Examples of this include: 1) filling for continuous-flow LVAD depend on preload and the flow is inversely related to afterload; as ...

MELD score predicts outcomes in patients with advanced heart failure: A longitudinal evaluation
ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 839-847, April 2025.Abstract Aims Advanced heart failure (AHF) is characterized by recurrent episodes of haemodynamic instability and frequent hospitalizations, leading to a progressive decline in quality of life and high mortality rates. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effect of the model for end‐stage liver disease (MELD) score and its variations in ...
