Abstract
Right ventricular afterload consists of resistive and pulsatile components. Studies suggest pulmonary artery compliance (PAC) better approximates total RV afterload due to increased pulsatile load in the context of elevated left atrial pressure. Reduced PAC is associated with poor prognosis in patients with pulmonary hypertension due to left heart failure. We evaluated measures of RV load to predict early right ventricular failure (RVF) and six-month mortality after continuous-flow LVAD (cf-LVAD).
