Impact of diastolic pulmonary gradient and pulmonary vascular remodeling on survival after left ventricular assist device implantation and heart transplantation
Abstract Background The left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are increasingly used for advanced heart failure as a bridge to heart transplantation or as a destination therapy. The aim of this study was to investigate the changes of diastolic pulmonary gradient (DPG), pulmonary vascular resistance...
