University of Minnesota
This will be a prospective observational study design to characterize right ventricular function in 5 consecutive patients undergoing LVAD implantation at the University of Minnesota Medical Center (UMMC). Pre-, intra- and postoperative care delivery to all enrolled and consented patients will meet the standards of care otherwise delivered to patients undergoing LVAD implantation at UMMC; care delivery will be at the discretion of the clinical care team and will not be altered based on the output of the right ventricular high-fidelity conductance catheters.
