Association between early ventricular arrhythmias and mortality in destination vs. bridge patients on continuous flow LVAD support

Abstract The association between ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) and mortality in patients supported by continuous flow left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) remains controversial. To evaluate the association between pre-implantation, early (≤ 30 day) post-implantation VAs and mortality in bridge to...
