Implication

LVAD therapy warrants caution on recovery expectations in advanced HF; this case report leaves open the need for prospective data.

Structured PICO

Does LVAD treatment lead to significant cardiac recovery in patients with severe advanced heart failure?

Population

Patients with severe advanced heart failure

Intervention

Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD)

Outcome

Significant cardiac recovery

Contrary to previous suggestions, LVAD therapy is unlikely to lead to significant cardiac recovery in patients with severe advanced heart failure.
