Abstract

Right ventricular (RV) failure is significantly associated with morbidity and mortality after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation. However, it remains unclear whether LVAD implantation could worsen RV function. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the effect of LVAD implantation on RV function by comparing RV energetics derived from the RV pressure-volume curve between before and after LVAD implantation. This exploratory observational study was performed between September 2016 and January 2018 at a national center in Japan. Twenty-two patients who underwent LVAD implantation were included in the analysis. We measured RV energetics parameters: RV stroke work index (RVSWI), which was calculated by integrating the area within the RV pressure-volume curve; RV minute work index (RVMWI), which was calculated as RVSWI × heart rate; and right ventriculo-arterial coupling, which was estimated as RV stroke volume/RV end-systolic volume. We compared RV energetics between before and after LVAD implantation. Although RVSWI was similar [424.4 mm Hg · mL/m2 (269.5-510.3) vs. 379.9 mm Hg · mL/m2 (313.1-608.8), P = 0.485], RVMWI was significantly higher after LVAD implantation [29 834.1 mm Hg · mL/m2 /min (18 272.2-36 357.1) vs. 38...Continue Reading
