Pulmonary artery pulsatility index predicts mechanical circulatory support following heart transplantation

Background: The incidence of mechanical circulatory support (MCS) for early graft dysfunction (EGD) following heart transplantation varies from 2.3% to 28.2%. Low pulmonary pulsatility index (PAPI) is associated with higher mortality in advanced heart failure and cardiogenic shock. We hypothesized t...
