Abstract
In both HM2 and HW LVADs, the average peak outflow velocity and reference limit for the normal population, as measured by Doppler TTE, was markedly higher than the currently used LVAD reference limits of 2 m/s and are significantly different between devices. Patients with peak outflow velocities above our upper reference limits should be evaluated for LVAD outflow cannula malfunction.
