Novel Left Heart Catheterization Ramp Protocol to Guide Hemodynamic Optimization in Patients Supported With Left Ventricular Assist Device Therapy

BACKGROUND: Left ventricular (LV) hemodynamic assessment has been sparsely performed in patients supported on continuous‐flow LV assist devices (cfLVADs). Insight into dynamic changes of left heart parameters during ramp studies may improve LV assist device optimization and evaluate pathology. METHO...
