The Impact of Body Surface Area and Left Ventricular Size on Outcomes Following Durable LVAD Implantation

Purpose: The differential impact of left ventricular (LV) size and body surface area (BSA) on survival following durable left ventricular assist device (d-LVAD) implantation has garnered increasing attention. We sought to determine the outcomes of d-LVAD recipients stratified by LV size and BSA in a single center analysis.
