Abstract 18224: Patient and Caregiver Perceptions of Living with a Left Ventricular Assist Device as Destination Therapy
TL;DR: In this article, the authors showed that the use of LVADs has been shown to improve survival in patients with end-stage heart failure, and implanted permanently as destination treatment.

The Right Prediction
TL;DR: Despite much improvement in the outcomes of patients undergoing implantation with left ventricular assist devices (LVADs), right ventricle failure remains a challenging clinical dilemma, particularly perioperatively as a significant cause of morbidity and mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Progressive Worsening in Device-Based Heart Failure Sensor Measurements are Associated with Sub-Optimal LV Pacing Percentages in CRT-D Patients
TL;DR: This analysis provides strong evidence that the poor survival associated lower %LV pacing is likely caused by worsening heart failure.
