Determinants of Functional Capacity and Quality of Life After Implantation of a Durable Left Ventricular Assist Device
Continuous-flow left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) are increasingly used as destination therapy in patients with end-stage heart failure and, with recent improvements in pump design, adverse event rates are decreasing. Implanted patients experience improved survival, quality of life (QoL) and fu...
