Abstract
CF-LVAD support in combination with HFMED leads to significant reverse remodeling in patients with advanced HF. Using this approach, one quarter of patients demonstrated complete recovery of cardiac function. Our results suggest that bridge to recovery in the current device era is a clinically meaningful phenomenon and merits further investigation.
