Abstract

The use of the HeartMate II continuous-flow left ventricular assist device (LVAD) improves survival, quality of life and functional capacity of patients with advanced heart failure. However, no study so far has shown the benefits of these devices for cardiac function during peak exercise. To assess cardiac and exercise performance in patients implanted with the HeartMate II LVAD under two settings: (i) optimal device support and (ii) reduced device support. Twelve patients implanted with a HeartMate II LVAD performed a graded cardiopulmonary exercise test with respiratory gas exchange and non-invasive (rebreathing) haemodynamic measurements. After a 4 h resting period, patients performed an additional cardiopulmonary exercise test with reduced LVAD support (pump speed was reduced from optimal 9000-9600 to 6000 revs/min). In response to reduced HeartMate II LVAD support, resting cardiac power output and cardiac output decreased by 21% and 13%, respectively. Also at reduced device support, peak exercise cardiac power output was 39% lower (1.40+/-0.50 vs 2.31+/-0.58 W; p<0.05), peak cardiac output 30% lower (8.6+/-2.5 vs 12.2+/-2.1 l/min; p<0.05) and mean blood pressure 13% lower (74.3+/-14.9 vs 85.4+/-15.4 vs mm Hg; p<0.05).

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.
