Individual changes in mRNA expression of a BNP, b IL-1β, c VWF, d SFRP1, and e RGS4 in recovery and non-recovery and f correlation between gene expression and cardiac index (CI) at explant. qPCR was used to quantify mRNA levels in left ventricular samples taken at the time of LVAD implant (Imp) and explant (Exp) in recovered and non-recovered patients. Differences between implant and explant were tested using non-parametric paired t tests; *p<0.05 and **p <0.01. Correlations were assessed using Spearman’s rank correlation test
