Here's the next HF #Tweetorial on late RHF in LVADs based on @JACCJournals State-Of-The-Art Paper by @IRajapreyar, @oisoliman, @YevgeniyBr, @RyanTedfordMD, @gregorytgibson, @AHajduczok #PaulMohacsi, #VakhtangTchantchaleishvili, #GeorgWieselthaler, #EduardoRame, and #KadirCaliskan
Other factors suggestive of RHF after LVAD implantation include:
-Deep y descents on the RAP waveform
-Low pulmonary artery pulsatility index (PAPI)
-Increasing gradient between diastolic pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) and PAWP with increasing LVAD speed
