| Popis: | Background: Patients with heart failure (HF) suffer from ventilatory abnormalities that are related to poor prognosis. Aim: The aim of the study was to investigate the respiratory drive in HF patients early after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation. Methods: We enrolled eight HF patients after LVAD (HeartMate II) implantation and 8 patients with advanced HF (control group). Patients were evaluated with cardiopulmonary exercise testing, respiratory function tests and transthoracic echocardiographic examination at 1, 3 and 6 months. Respiratory drive was estimated by the mouth occlusion pressure-P 0.1 and the P 0.1 /P imax ratio. Results: LVAD patients at 1, 3 and 6 months after implantation had significantly improved P 0.1 /P imax % ratio (4.17±0.43 vs 3.29±1.0 vs 2.56±0.35 respectively,p |
