Elevated Blood Pressure Before Left Ventricular Assist Device Support Implant is Associated with an Increased Risk of Stroke
Despite the recent advances in Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) therapy, stroke remains a frequent and catastrophic complication. Hypertension (HTN) after LVAD implant has been associated with an increased risk of stroke, but the association between HTN before LVAD implant and stroke has never been studied. We hypothesized that LVAD patients with elevated blood pressure (BP) during outpatient visits before the LVAD implant may have an increased risk of stroke.

Stroke epidemiology and outcomes in the modern era of left ventricular assist devices
AbstractThe care for the patients with end-stage heart failure has been revolutionized by the introduction of durable left ventricular assist devices, providing a substantial improvement in patient survival and quality of life and an alternative to heart transplantation. The newest devices have lower instances of mechanical dysfunction and associated pump thrombosis. Despite these improvements in complications, the use of continuous flow assist devices is still associated with high rates of thrombotic and hemorrhagic complications, most notably stroke in approximately 10% of continuous flow assist devices patients per year...

Systolic Blood Pressure on Discharge after Left Ventricular Assist Device Insertion is Associated with Subsequent Stroke
Stroke is a significant complication in patients supported with continuous-flow left ventricular assist devices (CF-LVAD) and hypertension (HTN) is a significant risk factor for stroke, but the association between blood pressure and stroke in LVAD patients is not well characterized.

Risk Predictors for Ischemic Stroke in CF-LVAD Patients by Pump Flow Type
Risk of stroke continues to be a major adverse event post-LVAD implantation, limiting wider application and utility of the device. Even with aggressive blood pressure control, patients with LVADs are at higher risk of stroke due to combination of pump-dependent factors including loss of natural pulsatility, anticoagulation, and thrombosis risk from blood-pump interaction. We used a Bayesian Network machine-learning approach to derive comparative risk factors for ischemic stroke in patients with axial versus centrifugal flow pumps at 3 months post LVAD implant.

Carotid Artery Blood Flow and Its Association with Stroke during Left Ventricular Assist Device Support
Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) surgery is a life-prolonging therapy for advanced heart failure (HF). Despite many improvements over the years, LVADs continue to be associated with a high incidence of stroke and other vascular complications such as gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB). At present, the pathogenesis of these complications during LVAD support remains unclear. Abnormal structure and hemodynamics in large arteries are a potential contributor. We hypothesized that structural abnormalities and flow alterations will be significantly associated with stroke and a composite outcome of stroke, GIB, and death in HF pa...

Occurrence and Clinical Patterns of Stroke Based on Arterial Cannulation Strategy during Veno-Arterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Support
Stroke is a major complication with potentially devastating consequences for patients receiving veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO). Arterial cannulation sites for VA-ECMO include ascending aorta, axillary artery, and femoral artery. However, rates of stroke according to cannulation site are currently unknown. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between occurrence and patterns of stroke with ECMO arterial cannulation sites.

Incidence, Predictors and Outcomes of Stroke Following Cardiac Transplantation
Stroke after heart transplantation (HT) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Less is known about the risk factors associated with stroke in the current era of increasing HT being performed in older patients and with advances in immunosuppressive (IS) therapies. We aimed to determine the incidence, predictors and outcomes of stroke after HT.

We aimed to investigate electrocardiogram (ECG) changes after IS with artificial intelligence (AI). MethodsWe collected ECGs from a healthy population and patients with IS, and then analyzed participant demographics and ECG parameters to identify abnormal features in post-IS ECGs. Next, we trained the convolutional neural network (CNN), random forest (RF) and suppor...

Angiotensin-converting Enzyme Inhibitors (ACE) And Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (ARB) Appear To Attenuate Stroke Risk Over Time In Patients With Left Ventricular Assist Devices
Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are used as a bridge to transplant or as a destination therapy for patients with end-stage heart failure. LVADs are associated with increased stroke risk, and many patients on LVAD are treated with ACE/ARBs and vasodilators to keep their mean arterial pressure (MAP) at goal to minimize the risk of stroke. We hypothesized that ACE/ARBs and vasodilators can reduce the 5-year risk of stroke in patients with LVAD.
