Abstract: OBJECTIVES Haemolysis during left ventricular assist device support is associated with thrombosis. In this retrospective study, we analysed whether low-level haemolysis (LLH) as defined by simultaneously elevated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and free haemoglobin (fHb) levels… read more here.
