Hemodynamic exercise responses with a continuous-flow left ventricular assist device: Comparison of patients' response and cardiorespiratory simulations.

Hemodynamic exercise responses with a continuous-flow left ventricular assist device: Comparison of patients' response and cardiorespiratory simulations.

BACKGROUND:Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are an established treatment for end stage heart failure patients. As LVADs do not currently respond to exercise demands, attention is also directed towards improvements in exercise capacity and resulting quality of life. The aim of this study was t...
