Preventing LVAD implantation by early short-term mechanical support and prolonged inodilator therapy
Cardiogenic shock continues to be a life-threatening condition carrying a high mortality and morbidity, where the prognosis remains poor despite intensive modern treatment modalities. In recent years, mainly technical improvements have led to a more widespread use of short- and long-term mechanical circulatory support, such as veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) and left...
متن کاملPatient-Reported Health-Related Quality of Life Is a Predictor of Outcomes in Ambulatory Heart Failure Patients Treated With Left Ventricular Assist Device Compared With Medical Management
Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are approved for use in patients in stage D heart failure (HF), either as bridge to transplantation or as permanent (destination) therapy. The optimal timing of LVAD implantation along the continuum of chronic HF is under active investigation. Most patients currently being implanted with LVADs have significant hemodynamic compromise, usually necessitating...
