Effects of echo‐optimization of left ventricular assist devices on functional capacity, a randomized controlled trial

Abstract Aims After the implantation of a left ventricular assist device (LVAD), many patients continue to experience exercise intolerance. VAFRACT trial evaluates the additional benefit of LVAD echo‐guided optimization (EO) on functional capacity (FC), measured by cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPE...
