The Potential of the HeartLogic^TM Algorithm in Patients with a Left Ventricular Assist Device, an Initial Report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Survival and quality-of-life of left ventricular assist device (LVAD) recipients improved significantly because of growing experience and technological advances. However, LVAD-related complication rates, including recurrent episodes of congestion, remain high. Early detection of fluid retention to provide a time-window for medical intervention is the pillar in preventing hospitalizations. The multisensory HeartLogic^TM algorithm accurately detected impending congestion in ambulant heart failure patients. The aim of the current study is to investigate the feasibility of HeartLogic^TM-driven care in LVAD patients.

Methods

Consecutive LVAD destination therapy patients were followed-up according the structured HeartLogic^TM-based heart fa
