Abstract
HF patients supported with a pneumatic LVAD appear to have better exercise tolerance than those receiving an electric LVAD. Patients on LVAD support have better exercise tolerance than BiVAD-supported patients. This highlights the importance of right ventricular function to exercise tolerance in HF patients, and may have implications for future VAD design.
