How should ventricular arrhythmias be managed in patients with congestive heart failure supported by ventricular assist devices?
This review summarizes current research and practical management strategies for ventricular arrhythmias in patients with ventricular assist devices.
May guide VA management in VAD-supported HF; leaves optimal strategies open for prospective trials.
Ventricular arrhythmia (VA) is a significant factor in the clinical management of patients with congestive heart failure (CHF). Understanding the implications of VA in ventricular assist device-supported CHF patients is critical to appropriate clinical decision making in this special population. This article details research findings on this topic, and attempts to link them to practical patient management strategies.
