Abstract
Patients who did not recover had higher myocardial expression of pro-fibrotic genes at LVAD implantation, and in recovered patients higher levels at explant were negatively associated with subsequent ejection fraction. However, individual patients showed complex expression patterns and a decrease in pro-fibrotic markers was not required for recovery.
