Ventricular Strain Predicts the Risk of Right Heart Failure After Durable Left Ventricular Assist Device Implantation
Background Right heart failure (RHF) is prevalent after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation and associated with poor short- and long-term outcomes. The interaction of the right ventricle (RV) with its afterload before LVAD implantation may impact the incidence of RHF. Objectives The aim of the study was...
