Data are expressed as means ± SD. Control, no LVAD support; p-LVAD, partial LVAD support; t-LVAD, total LVAD support; HR, heart rate; CO, cardiac output; LVAD flow, flow of left ventricular assist device; CBF, coronary (LAD) blood flow; MAP, mean arterial pressure; LVEDP, left ventricular end-diastolic pressure; Peak LVP, peak LV pressure; RAP, right atrial pressure; LAP, left atrial pressure; ESV, end systolic volume; EDV, end diastolic volume; SCSO2, oxygen saturation in coronary sinus vein.
