Prognostic implications of serial outpatient blood pressure measurements in patients with an axial continuous-flow left ventricular assist device

Prognostic implications of serial outpatient blood pressure measurements in patients with an axial continuous-flow left ventricular assist device

Elevated blood pressure (BP) has been linked to adverse events during left ventricular assist device support. In this study we investigated the association between outpatient BP and stroke or suspected pump thrombosis among HeartMate II (HMII) recipients. We retrospectively studied 220 HMII patients...

Zusammenfassung:Elevated blood pressure (BP) has been linked to adverse events during left ventricular assist device support. In this study we investigated the association between outpatient BP and stroke or suspected pump thrombosis among HeartMate II (HMII) recipients. We retrospectively studied 220 HMII patients. Serial outpatient BP measurements were averaged. Patients were categorized by: (1) mean arterial pressure (MAP), high (>90 mm Hg) vs intermediate (80 mm Hg ≤ MAP ≤ 90 mm Hg) vs low (
