Prognostic Implications of Changes in Albumin Following Left Ventricular Assist Device Implantation in Patients With Severe Heart Failure

Mechanical assist devices have emerged as an established therapeutic option for patients with end-stage heart failure. Because preimplant hypoalbuminemia is a known risk factor for adverse outcomes, we hypothesized that change in albumin may be a prognostic indicator in patients with continuous-flow...
