Abstract EN
Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are systems for mechanical support for patients with end-stage heart failure.
Preoperative, postoperative and comprehensive followup with transthoracic echocardiography has a major role in LVAD patient management.
In this paper, we will present briefly the hemodynamics of axial-flow LVAD, the rationale, and available data for a complete and organized echocardiographic assessment in these patients including preoperative assessment, postoperative and long-term evaluation.
