Objective:

To review the impact of right ventricular function on the performance of left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) and strategies to mitigate dysfunction.

Key Findings:
  • LVADs are effective for left ventricular support but depend on native right heart function.
  • Right ventricular dysfunction can significantly impair LVAD performance.
Interpretation:

The manuscript emphasizes the importance of right ventricular function in the context of LVAD use.

Limitations:
Conclusion:

The review highlights the need for understanding right ventricular dynamics to optimize LVAD outcomes.
