Background
Hyponatremia is associated with adverse outcomes in heart failure and after cardiac surgery. We hypothesized that hyponatremia is associated with poorer short‐term and longer term survival in patients after continuous‐flow left ventricular assist device (CF‐LVAD) placement.
Methods
We reviewed a single‐center database of patients who received a CF‐LVAD during 2012–2017. Sodium (Na) values...
Background
Despite technological advancements, pump durability and pump‐related complications continue to affect and adversely impact the lives of patients with end‐stage heart failure on left ventricular assist device (LVAD) support. In an attempt to avoid recurrent LVAD‐related complications, there may be circumstances where it is clinically advantageous to exchange a patient's device from HeartMate...
