Abstract

The HeartMate XVE or II provided equivalent degrees of hemodynamic support and exercise capacity. The XVE was associated with greater left ventricular volume unloading. Characteristics of left ventricular pressure and volume unloading between these pump designs and mode of operation do not influence early exercise performance.
