- Abstract
The article focuses on the slope of the anterior mitral valve leaflet (SLAM) as measurement of left ventricular (LV) unloading for left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) and systolic dysfunction. Topics covered include the multiple trans-thoracic echocardiographic (TTE) methods for assessing LV filling pressures and the serum pro-brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) measurement.
