Monitoring left ventricular assist device parameters to detect flow- and power-impacting complications: a proof of concept.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

The number of patients on left ventricular assist device (LVAD) support increases due to the growing number of patients with end-stage heart failure and the limited number of donor hearts. Despite improving survival rates, patients frequently suffer from adverse events such as cardiac arrhythmia and major bleeding. Telemonitoring is a potentially powerful tool to early detect deteriorations and may further improve outcome after LVAD implantation. Hence, we developed a personalized algorithm to remotely monitor HeartMate3 (HM3) pump parameters aiming to early detect unscheduled admissions due to cardiac arrhythmia or major bleeding.

Methods and results

The source code of the algorithm is published in an open repository. The algorithm was optimized and tested retrospectiv
