Late right heart failure (RHF) is increasingly recognized in patients with long-term left
ventricular assist device (LVAD) support and is associated with decreased survival and …

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 …

Background Correction of valvular disease is often undertaken during left ventricular assist
device (LVAD) implantation with uncertain benefit. We analyzed clinical outcomes with …

Objectives Right heart failure remains a serious complication of left ventricular assist device
therapy. Many patients presenting for left ventricular assist device implantation have …

Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction frequently occurs after cardiac surgery and is linked to
adverse postoperative outcomes, including mortality, reintubation, stroke, and prolonged …

OBJECTIVES Tricuspid valve repair in left ventricular assist device implantation continues to
pose a challenge and may impact the occurrence of early and late right heart failure. We …

Atrioventricular regurgitation is frequent in the setting of heart failure. It is due to atrial and
ventricular remodelling, as well as rhythmic disturbances and loss of synchrony. Once …

Over the last two decades, implantable continuous flow left ventricular assist devices (LVAD)
have proven to be invaluable tools for the management of selected advanced heart failure …

Background Functional tricuspid regurgitation (TR) appears frequently in the presence of left-
sided heart valve diseases, combined with symptoms of heart failure, worsens if left …

Background: Despite recent advances in management of patients with advanced heart
failure, mortality remains high. Aim of this study was to compare impact of different aetiology …
