Dynamics of bone turnover markers in patients with heart failure and following haemodynamic improvement through ventricular assist device implantation

Aims Abnormal bone metabolism and progressive demineralization have been described in patients with heart failure (HF). We hypothesized that mechanical unloading through implantation of a ventricular assist device (VAD) with subsequent haemodynamic improvement would correct abnormal bone metabolism...
