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 ...

Outcomes of patients after successful left ventricular assist device explantation: a EUROMACS study

ESC Heart Failure, 2020
Sufficient myocardial recovery with the subsequent explantation of a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) occurs in approximately 1–2% of the cases. However, follow‐up data about this condition are scarcely available in the literature.

Optimal timing of heart transplantation in patients with an implantable left ventricular assist device

Korean Journal of Transplantation, 2023
Heart transplantation (HTPL) has been established as the gold-standard surgical treatment for end-stage heart failure. However, the use of a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) as a bridge to HTPL has been increasing due to the limited availability of ...
