Systematic review identifies ideal speed settings for left ventricular assist devices, indicating improved outcomes for heart failure patients.
Introduction Left ventricular assist devices have been demonstrated to improve both quality of life and improve survival in patients with end-stage heart failure. Ideal speed setting of these devices is necessary to provide adequate left ventricular unloading while not disadvantaging the right heart. This highlights the potential utility of speed titration studies.
