In individuals needing a left ventricular assist device (LVAD), right heart failure (RHF) is a serious complication post-surgery, associated with worsened outcomes including mortality. However, predictors of decompensation after LVAD are not well established. Liver dysfunction pre-LVAD has been shown to be associated with poor outcomes post-LVAD, but the interplay between liver abnormalities and RHF post-LVAD is not well characterized. Liver stiffness (LS) is a measure associated with certain types of liver abnormalities (e.g., liver fibrosis; cirrhosis). Thus, we hypothesize that elevated LS measured by SWE is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing LVAD implantation and yields increased need for advanced postoperative HF therapies including the use of right ventricular assist devices (RVAD) for the management of RHF.

Primary | Liver stiffness (LS) measurements with development of post-LVAD RHF. | An assessment of liver stiffness will be performed by shear wave elastography using a Supersonic Imagine Aixplorer ShearWave™ ultrasound machine. | 24 months | |
Secondary | 30 day in-hospital mortality rate | We will perform logistic regression to determine the optimal cutpoint of LS to predict mortality at a given time point, provided the sample size is adequate. | 30 days | |
Secondary | 1 year mortality rate | We will perform logistic regression to determine the optimal cutpoint of LS to predict mortality at a given time point, provided the sample size is adequate. | 1 year |
