This thesis aims to assess the current body of evidence and experiences with continuous flow-LVADs in the new era of advanced heart failure therapy. Furthermore, we investigate clinical outcomes, complications, and the impact of LVAD on end-organ function. In addition, an effort was made to predict these end-points in order to improve the selection criteria for LVAD therapy and current clinical practice.
