This review explores the application of invasive hemodynamic assessments in the personalization of care for patients with left ventricular assist devices (LVADs). The authors provide a comprehensive approach to their use in triaging patients with low-flow alarms, assessing right ventricular function, evaluating reversal of pulmonary vasculature remodeling, and determining the precipitation for residual heart failure symptoms.
