Prediction, prevention, and management of right ventricular failure after left ventricular assist device implantation: A comprehensive review

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are increasingly common across the heart failure population. Right ventricular failure (RVF) is a feared complication that can occur in the early post-operative phase or during the outpatient follow-up.

Case Report: Early Identification of Subclinical Cardiac Tamponade in a Patient With a Left Ventricular Assist Device by the Use of Sublingual Microcirculatory Imaging: A New Diagnostic Imaging Tool?

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
Clinical diagnosis of cardiac tamponade can be difficult in patients with continuous flow left ventricle assist devices (cf-LVADs). This is even more so because of the lack of adequate bedside echocardiographic windows.

Mechanical circulatory support in ventricular arrhythmias

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
In atrial and ventricular tachyarrhythmias, reduced time for ventricular filling and loss of atrial contribution lead to a significant reduction in cardiac output, resulting in cardiogenic shock.
