Cardiac Reverse Remodeling and Recovery in Dilated Cardiomyopathy Medication-Naive Patients Requiring Durable Left Ventricular Assist Device Support

Occasionally new onset cardiomyopathy patients (pts) present late, in such advanced disease stage that they cannot tolerate heart failure (HF) drug therapy. We investigated the cardiac recovery (CR) potential following a combination of left ventricular assist device (LVAD) and guideline-directed HF drug therapy in this medication-naive population.
