Left ventricular dimension has the potential to impact clinical outcomes following implantation of left ventricular assist devices (LVAD). We investigated the effect of pre-implant left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) on outcomes following LVAD implantation. Patients implanted with a cont...
