Myocardial Recovery in Patients Receiving Contemporary Left Ventricular Assist Devices Results From the Interagency Registry for Mechanically Assisted Circulatory Support (INTERMACS)

摘要

Background-Time course and predictors of myocardial recovery on contemporary left ventricular assist device support are poorly defined because of limited number of recovery patients at any implanting center. This study sought to investigate myocardial recovery using multicenter data from the Interagency Registry for Mechanically Assisted Circulatory Support (INTERMACS).
