Effects of Increased CF-LVAD Pump Speed During Sustained Submaximal Exercise

NCT02335684 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 31

Last updated 2015-10-28

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This randomized trial has been designed to study if it is possible to enhance work capacity during submaximal efforts in heart failure patients supported with continuous-flow left ventricular assist devices (CF-LVAD).

The hypothesis is that exercise tolerability during low to moderate workloads in CF-LVAD patients can be increased when pump speed is increased soon after the onset of exercise.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

CF-LVAD pump speed baseline.

Submaximal exercise test with baseline pump speed.

OTHER

CF-LVAD pump speed increased.
