Abstract
• Concomitant AF is prevalent amongst advanced HF patients undergoing LVAD implantation (38.8%) • Pre-operative AF is not associated with higher risks of early post-operative RVF or the need for RVAD support after LVAD implantation • The association of different AF phenotypes and management with risk of post-LVAD RVF needs further investigation Right ventricular failure (RVF) remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality after left...
