Over the past several years, advanced heart failure patients who have not responded to medical therapy have been given new hope, and are surviving longer with implanted left ventricular assist devices (LVADs). Although echocardiography is recommended for each phase of care for patients with LVADs, there has been limited published data and no formal guidance for the use of echocardiography in this growing patient population. In an effort to fill this gap, a new document, Echocardiography in the Management of Patients with Left Ventricular Assist Devices: Recommendations from the American Society of Echocardiography, will appear in the August 2015 issue of the Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography (JASE).
