Increased Dead Space Ventilation as a Contributing Factor to Persistent Exercise Limitation in Patients with a Left Ventricular Assist Device
(1) Background: The exercise capacity of patients with a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) remains limited despite mechanical support. Higher dead space ventilation (V<sub>D</sub>/V<sub>T</sub>) may be a surrogate for right ventricular to pulmonary artery uncoupling (RV–P...
