The effect of heart failure and left ventricular assist device treatment on right ventricular mechanics: a computational study

Abstract Background and aims Although it is important to analyze the hemodynamic factors related to the right ventricle (RV) after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation, previous studies have focused only on the alteration of the ventricular shape and lack quantitative analysis of the v...
