“…In end-stage HFrEF, systolic function and adequate cardiac hemodynamics can be restored through MCS devices. Although the use of HFrEF MCS devices that support the pumping action of the left ventricle is not recommended in HFpEF, due to reported risks of atrial suction and intraventricular thrombosis ( 86 , 172 , 182 , 185 , 186 , 187 , 188 ), analogous solutions that are specific for HFpEF are currently under development to reduce LAP, enhance LV filling, and restore cardiac output. In this context, a variety of in silico and in vitro studies have been conducted on a number of proposed approaches to investigate their feasibility ( 22 , 175 , 176 , 177 , 178 , 179 ).…”
