Abstract
Copeptin was elevated in, and independently predicted prognosis in, HF. Copeptin was progressively lower after LVAD and HTx. This suggests that improvement in cardiac output with LVAD and HTx may induce progressively reduced activation of vasopressin, which may be a marker for the beneficial effects of LVAD and HTx.
