- Title
Measurements of liver stiffness in patients with left ventricular assist devices.
- Authors
Imamura, Teruhiko
- Abstract
Our team recently demonstrated that hemodynamics, particularly elevated central venous pressure, which was invasively measured by right heart catheterization, was associated with various comorbidities including hemocompatibility-related adverse events such as gastrointestinal bleeding during LVAD supports [[3]]. It might be a future concern to investigate whether liver stiffness-guided hemodynamic optimization would improve clinical outcomes during LVAD support. 3 Imamura T, Nguyen A, Kim G, Raikhelkar J, Sarswat N, Kalantari S, Smith B, Juricek C, Rodgers D, Ota T, Song T, Jeevanandam V, Sayer G, Uriel N. Optimal haemodynamics during left ventricular assist device support are associated with reduced haemocompatibility-related adverse events.
