Abstract
Pulsatile-flow LVADs and young age were important factors for myocardial recovery in idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy patients in our analysis. Further studies should investigate whether pulsatility in itself or the different degrees of left ventricular unloading by the two types of systems play a role in myocardial recovery.
