The Hemodynamic Effects of Aortic Insufficiency in Patients Supported with Continuous-Flow Left Ventricular Assist Devices

Highlights • LVAD patients with AI have elevated filling pressures and reduced PAPi. • Elevated PCWP in the presence of AI can be reduced with increased LVAD speed. • Increasing LVAD speed results in worsening AI with unknown long-term consequences.
