Accurate assessment of myocardial recovery (MR) under left ventricular assist device (LVAD) support is essential for clinicians to manage heart failure patients. However, current techniques for assessing MR are time-consuming, invasive, and infrequent. Measuring MR using indices derived from LVAD op...
