Abstract

Left ventricular assist devices improve functional class and survival in selected patients with advanced heart failure, but right ventricular failure after surgery remains common and challenging to predict. Pre-operative echocardiography provides important information in the evaluation of patients before device implant. This review summarizes the data on this complex topic.
