Abstract
BACKGROUND: Surgical mechanical ventricular assistance and cardiac replacement therapies, although life-saving in many heart failure (HF) patients, remain high-risk. Despite this, the difficulty in timely identification of medical therapy nonresponders and the dire consequences of nonresponse have fueled early, less selective surgical referral. Patients who would have ultimately responded to medical therapy are therefore subjected to the risk and life disruption of surgical therapy.
