Figure 4. Time Course for Change in Left Ventricular Function and Structure after LVAD Based on Responder Stage.

Figure 4.

By comparing the baseline and last follow-up echocardiogram, changes in LVEF and LVIDd were used to categorize LVAD patients into three distinct groups: Responders (blue), Partial Responders (green), and Non-Responders (red). Using serial echocardiography, the change in function (LVEF) and structure (LVIDd) after LVAD implant are depicted by responder category.
