Validation of the VT‐LVAD score for prediction of late VAs in LVAD recipients [PDF]

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, 2020
AbstractObjectivesThis study sought to validate the performance of the VT‐LVAD risk model in predicting late ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) in patients after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation.BackgroundThe need for implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator (ICD)‐implantation in LVAD recipients is not well studied. A better selection of the

Patterns of emergency department utilization for LVAD patients compared with non-LVAD patients

International Journal of Cardiology: Heart & Vasculature, 2020
Background: Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) patients are vulnerable to over-utilization of resources. Methods and results: We explored the pattern of emergency department (ED) presentations of LVAD patients and their costs compared with non-LVAD ...

Occupational therapy predicts post-operative left ventricular assist device (LVAD) self-care, hospital length of stay, and discharge disposition [PDF]

JHLT Open
Purpose: Understanding LVAD self-care needs is important for candidacy decisions and care planning. This study investigated the association between pre-operative occupational therapy (OT) evaluations and post-operative LVAD self-care, length of stay (LoS)

Total Mechanical Unloading Minimizes Metabolic Demand of Left Ventricle and Dramatically Reduces Infarct Size in Myocardial Infarction. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) mechanically unloads the left ventricle (LV). Theoretical analysis indicates that partial LVAD support (p-LVAD), where LV remains ejecting, reduces LV preload while increases afterload resulting from the elevation of

Stop the LVAD bleeding [PDF]

Journal of Thoracic Disease, 2017
Among the therapeutic options available for patient with advanced heart failure, left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) are a safe and durable option as bridge to transplantation or as destination therapy. Despite improving survival and quality of life, nonsurgical bleeding—manifesting as epistaxis, gastrointestinal bleeding, and hemorrhagic strokes ...
