Kidney Function Trajectories and Right Heart Failure Following LVAD Implantation

Journal of the American Heart Association

BackgroundPreoperative kidney dysfunction is a risk factor for right heart failure (RHF) after implantation of a left ventricular assist device (LVAD). Kidney function trajectories before and after RHF onset, and relationships of baseline kidney function with RHF risk at the different time points, were assessed.
