背景：右心衰竭（RHF）是左心室辅助装置（LVAD）的常见并发症。移植很少有研究结果LVAD患者随后发展RHF.Methods：108例慢性CHF（>= 6个月）谁接受HeartMate LVAD植入确定在1996年6月至2004年7月。排除需要LVAD的急性心力衰竭患者，以消除混杂非心脏因素的影响。RHF定义为需要随后使用右心室辅助装置（RVAD）：14天静脉内正性肌力药物/肺血管扩张剂，或两者兼而有之。确定了42例（38.9%）RI-IF患者。其中14例需要插入RVAD。结果参数包括早期（
Background: Right heart failure (RHF) is not an infrequent complication of left ventricular assist device (LVAD) i. mplantation. Few studies have examined outcomes for LVAD patients who subsequently develop RHF.Methods: One hundred eight patients with chronic CHF (>= 6 months) who underwent HeartMate LVAD implantation were identified during June 1996 to July 2004. Acute heart failure patients requiring LVADs were excluded to eliminate the impact of confounding non-cardiac factors. RHF was defined as the need for a subsequent right ventricular assist device (RVAD), :14 days of intravenous inotropes/pulmonary vasodilators, or both. Forty-two (38.9%) RI-IF patients were identified. Fourteen of these required RVAD insertion. Outcome parameters included early (
