Abstract
Assessment of myocardial recovery in patients with non-pulsatile LVADs involves speed reduction to a degree where there is minimal contribution from the pump into the circulation during assessment. To date we have used 6000rpm to assess recovery in HeartMate II LVAD patients. The aims of this study were to study reverse flow and to assess whether 6000rpm was a safe and sufficient speed to assess recovery.
