Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To retrospectively investigate the effect of physical therapy intervention on improving physical function of patients post left ventricular assist device (LVAD) through electronic medical record survey

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Method: Using portable electronic medical record system in National Taiwan University Hospital (NTUH), retrospectively survey medical record of patients who underwent left ventricular assist device (LVAD) operation in NTUH, compare improvement among those who had received physical therapy intervention and those who hadn't.

Inclusion criteria: aged older than 20 years old; diagnosed with heart failure and need LVAD implantation

Progress: Note down patients' clinical signs and symptoms, drug usage, imaging findings, physical therapy intervention details, and recovery of functional status. Physical therapy intervention details include: onset symptoms, history, treatment frequency, treatment type, any signs and symptoms during treatment progress and recovery of functional status post physical therapy.
