Popis:	Body mass index (BMI) is an important consideration for transplant-eligible left ventricular assist device (LVAD) recipients. LVAD therapy's impact on BMI is unclear. We evaluated BMI changes in patients who underwent LVAD implantation. The association between these patients' BMI and the transplant was studied.This was a retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent LVAD implantation between January 1, 2012 and December 31, 2018 at our institution. Patients were stratified by preoperative BMI (kg/mA total of 107 patients underwent LVAD implantation at our institution. Data were available for 80 patients. Baseline characteristics included a mean age of 56.0 years, 69% male, and a mean implant BMI of 29.9 ± 6.8 kg/mAssociated weight changes during LVAD support may significantly impact transplant candidacy. Higher BMI groups may benefit from multimodal and multidisciplinary targeted weight-loss interventions.
