Paradoxical Mechano-Energetic Costs of Acute Mechanical Intra-Ventricular Unloading: A Key to Understand Myocardial Recovery with Left-Ventricular Mechanical Support?

This study tested such hypothesis by assessing the acute effects of LVAD support on systemic hemodynamics, left-ventricular (LV) mechano-energetics and myocardial oxygen consumption (MVO2) in vivo.
