ConferenceThe Journal of heart and lung transplantation : the official publication of the International Society for Heart Transplantation · April 1, 2020
PURPOSE: Right heart failure (RHF) after LVAD implantation is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Recently, the EUROMACS-RHF risk score was developed to predict postoperative RHF in this setting. In a single-center analysis, we assessed th ...
