Abstract
AVs in LVAD patients showed decreased compliance and increased expression of numerous proteins related to valve activation and injury compared to non-LVAD patients. Further knowledge of AV changes leading to regurgitation in LVAD patients and the pathways by which they occur may provide an opportunity for interventions to prevent and/or reverse this detrimental complication.
