Abstract
10-3) groups. The compliance properties in the Control (DC: 8.3 0.8 mm/mmHg 10-3; CSC: 2.4 0.2 1/mmHg 10-3) group were not different from the Baseline, Acute, or Chronic groups. The IEM was higher (p 0.05) in the Chronic (6908 1269 mmHg) compared with Acute (2739 412 mmHg), Baseline (1849 177 mmHg), and Control (2349 241 mmHg) groups. Conclusions: Chronic CF LVAD support is associated with lower carotid artery compliance and distensibility, which may place further strain on the left ventricle. These findings may have clinical implications for patients using the CF LVAD as a bridge to transplantation.
