Abstract Aims Patients awaiting orthotopic heart transplantation (OHT) can be bridged utilizing a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) that reduces left ventricular filling pressures, decreases pulmonary artery wedge pressure, and maintains adequate cardiac output. This study set out to examine the poorly investigated area of if and how pre‐treatment with LVAD impacts right ventricular (RV) function following OHT. Methods and results We prospectively evaluated 59 (LVAD n = 20) consecutive OHT patients. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) was performed in conjunction with right heart catheterization (RHC) at 1, 6, and 12 months after OHT. RV function TTE‐parameters included tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE), systolic tissue velocity (S′), fractional area change, two‐dimensional RV global longitudinal strain and longitudinal strain from the RV lateral wall (RVfree). At 1 month after OHT, the LVAD group had significantly better longitudinal RV function than the non‐LVAD group: TAPSE (15 ± 3 mm vs. 12 ± 2 mm, P |
