Electrical artifacts in ECG are frequent after LVAD implantation, and they can complicate ECG interpretation
This is a summary, expanded and detailed content in this video:
It is hypothesized that centrifugal pump high-frequency oscillations cause noise artifacts on ECGs in patients using LVADs.
The L-vads currently operating in clinical practice are the Heartware, the heartmate 2, and the Heartmate 3. Each L-vad model has its own operating revolutions per minute level, generating different frequency interferences
So How to perform an ECG with minimal artifacts in a patient with an LVAD?
