Pectoral muscle mass is not a robust prognostic factor for survival after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation

Pectoral muscle mass is not a robust prognostic factor for survival after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation

Abstract Background Left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) are an established treatment for end-stage left ventricular heart failure. Parameters are needed to identify the most appropriate patients for LVADs. This study aimed to evaluate pectoral muscle mass and density as prognostic parameters. Met...
