Hemodynamic and mechanical parameters of right ventricular (RV) performance were measured in eight patients undergoing left ventricular (LV) assistance as a bridge to cardiac transplantation. All patients, even those with impaired RV performance, survived support and transplantation. The reduction of LV afterload produced by the left ventricular assist system (LVAS) results in RV afterload reduction, which permits even the marginal RV to function adequately during LVAS support.
