The impact of acute reduction of continuous-flow left ventricular assist device support on cardiac and exercise performance.
BACKGROUND: The use of the HeartMate II continuous-flow left ventricular assist device (LVAD) improves survival, quality of life and functional capacity of patients with advanced heart failure. However, no study so far has shown the benefits of these devices for cardiac function during peak exercise...
