Conclusion
The evaluation of preoperative ESM mass might predict the length of
hospital stay in patients undergoing LVAD implantation. However,
preoperative ESM has no effect on short-term severe adverse clinical
outcomes, such as MACE or in-hospital mortality and long-term survival.
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report to analyze the
preoperative ESM mass in patients undergoing LVAD.
