Right ventricular failure after left ventricular assist device implantation: a review of the literature

Journal of Thoracic Disease, 2021
Right ventricular failure (RVF) following left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation remains a major complication which may significantly impair patient outcome. The genesis of RVF is, however, multifactorial, and the mechanisms underlying such a

Left Ventricular Assist Device Support Complicates the Exercise Physiology of Oxygen Transport and Uptake in Heart Failure

Cardiac Failure Review, 2019
Low-output forward flow and impaired maximal exercise oxygen uptake (VO2 max) are hallmarks of patients in advanced heart failure. The continuous-flow left ventricular assist device is a cutting-edge therapy proven to increase forward flow, yet this ...
