Association between genetics variants and clinical outcomes in patients with left ventricular assist device [PDF]

JHLT Open
Background: Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation is a life-saving therapy for end-stage heart failure, but right ventricular failure (RVF) remains a major complication. Current RVF risk models are limited.
