Article Synopsis
- * A study tested a protocol that involves temporarily reducing the support from a ventricular assist device (VAD) during exercise to identify patients who might recover enough to have the device removed.
- * Two out of three patients in the study successfully weaned off the VAD, highlighting that thorough evaluation during treatment can help recognize candidates for recovery, even when serious heart conditions are present.
