Recovery Of Left Ventricular Function After Insertion Of Left Ventricular Assist Device: Evaluation Of Echocardiographic Parameters And Longitudinal Analysis
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$124,676.00
Summary
In some patients with severe heart failure, insertion of a mechanical pump to assist the heart actually leads to recovery of the heart's function. More understanding of this process is needed so we can better predict and identify it.This project aims to assess the usefulness of ultrasound (echocardiography) in measuring heart function in patients who have a mechanical pump. Once its usefulness is established, we will use it to evaluate and attempt to induce recovery in such patients.
