BACKGROUND The number of centers with left ventricular assist device (LVAD) research programs focused on cardiac recovery is very small. Therefore, this phenomenon has been reported in real-world multi-center registries as a rare event.OBJECTIVES This study evaluated the incidence of cardiac recovery with an a priori LVAD implantation strategy of bridge-to-recovery (BTR) and constructed a recovery predictive model.METHODS The study included LVAD recipients registered in the Interagency Registry for Mechanically Assisted Circulatory Support (INTERMACS). Cardiac recovery was evaluated in BTR and non-BTR patients. A weighted score was derived and externally validated in patients of the Utah Cardiac Recovery (UCAR) program.RESULTS Of 15,138 INTERMACS patients, cardiac recovery occurred in 192 (1.3%). The incidence of recovery was 11.2% (n - 14) in BTR compared with 1.2% (n - 178) in non-BTR patients (p < 0.0001). Independent predictors of recovery included: age
