“…This finding may be applicable to LVAD patients, given the device’s ability to maintain circulation without an organized rhythm. Notably, while amiodarone has broad antidysrhythmic effects, other agents might specifically VAs [ 18 ]. In scenarios of recurrent VAs unresponsive to antiarrhythmic therapy, catheter ablation emerges as a viable alternative, requiring skilled operators versed in LVAD physiology and collaborative efforts between heart failure cardiologists and arrhythmiologists [ 19 , 20 ].…”

“…Conversely, hypervolemia or other etiologies of right heart failure can precipitate suction events when the RV inadequately supplies preload to the LV. Ultrasound and cardiac computed tomography are valuable in evaluating ventricular dimensions, functionality, overall fluid status, and the position of the inflow cannula [ 18 ]. In this case, the left ventricle was dilated, with the inflow cannula optimally positioned.…”
