Evaluation of potential mechanisms for skeletal muscle mass recovery early after left ventricular assist device implantation

Evaluation of potential mechanisms for skeletal muscle mass recovery early after left ventricular assist device implantation

Background: We observed significant gains in appendicular lean mass (ALM) over the first 6 months of left ventricular assist device (LVAD) support for patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). We sought to determine whether improved HF neurohumoral stability, inflammation,...
