Figure 6. Changes in right ventricular properties with increasing left ventricular assist device speed.

Figure 6.

Changes in systolic and diastolic function result in decreased contractile function and increased ventricular compliance, respectively. These changes were not reproduced uniformly in a series of four patients during a left ventricular assist device speed optimization test. Adapted from Brener MI, et al.
