Ventricular arrhythmias (VA) occur frequently in patients with end-stage heart failure after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation. While previous literature has shown that pre-operative VA is associated with VA occurrence post-operatively, there is little evidence describing any other factors that might predict post-LVAD VA.
