Diagram showing the main changes post LVAD, including an increased cardiac output that leads to decompression of the LV and a leftward shift of the septum with subsequently increased preload to the RV. The increased right-sided preload and a leftward shift of the septum, dilates the RV, worsening the tricuspid regurgitation (TR), resulting in RHF.
