About this study

This study is meant to predict the outcome of VAD therapy, by forming a VAD registry for quality assessment, research, and real-time monitoring of patients on VAD therapy. The goal is to optimize the use of VAD therapy for patients, to create an online quality measurement tool for VAD treatment, and to create algorithms to estimate the prognosis for patients getting a VAD.

Read the detailed description

Patients eligible for VAD are being sampled before surgery for plasma as well as peripheral blood cells. After surgery patients are being sampled again at 24 h and 7 days. Inflammatory response is being monitored on gene expression as well as cell level and on cytokine level in relation to the outcome.
