Prognostic Value of Pressure-Volume Measures in Hemocompatibility-Related Clinical Adverse Events

Continuous-flow left ventricular assist device (cf-LVADs) can lead to hemocompatibility-related clinical adverse events (HRAEs) which are largely determined by mechanisms that underpin the pump-patient interaction. We assessed the association of pressure-volume (PV) measures [stroke work (SW)& pump arterial elastance (EA)] with incidence of HRAEs.
