Sponsor's own description

In individuals needing a left ventricular assist device (LVAD), right heart failure (RHF) is a serious complication post-surgery, associated with worsened outcomes including mortality. However, predictors of decompensation after LVAD are not well established. Liver dysfunction pre-LVAD has been shown to be associated with poor outcomes post-LVAD, but the interplay between liver abnormalities and RHF post-LVAD is not well characterized. Liver stiffness (LS) is a measure associated with certain types of liver abnormalities (e.g., liver fibrosis; cirrhosis). Thus, we hypothesize that elevated LS measured by SWE is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing LVAD implantation and yields increased need for advanced postoperative HF therapies including the use of right ventricular assist devices (RVAD) for the management of RHF.
