Approximately 6 million individuals suffer from heart failure (HF) in the USA alone and 15 million in Europe. Left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) improve survival in these patients, but functional capacity may not fully improve. This article examines the hypothesis that patients supported by LVAD suffer from persistent reductions in functional capacity, and explores mechanisms accounting for abnormalities in exercise tolerance. Overview of mechanisms limiting functional capacity and exercise tolerance among patients with heart failure supported by mechanical circulatory support devices.
