Description
Abstract
• Right heart failure (RHF) is a major complication following left
ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation and is associated with
significant morbidity and mortality [1].
• Pre-existing right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is a key predictor,
though risk stratification remains challenging [2].
