Summary
Study start date: February 1, 2014
Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.This is a non-randomized, single-center, prospective investigation on exercise capacities of LVAD recipients. LVAD patients already have in our unit the following regular monitoring: * clinical examination * Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ) * SF-36 Health Survey * Six-Minute Walk Test * resting echocardiography * routine blood tests. The REVADE pilot study consists in adding 2 cardiopulmonary exercise testings to their existing follow-up : peak oxygen consumption (VO2 max) and stress echocardiography. We plan to do 1 stress echocardiography on a supine bicycle over the follow-up, and 1 peak oxygen consumption recorded while breathing through a gas analyzer. Total study length of time will be 1 year. Expected number of enrolled patients is 18.
