Cardiac Power Output, its Role in Defining Heart Failure for Future Mechanical Support

Cardiac Power Output (CPO) has shown to effectively indentify declining cardiac performance in Heart Failure (HF) patients. We compared CPO to other commonly used hemodynamic parameters to establish its usefulness in determining when Mechanical Circulatory Support (MCS) is required. A retrospective...
