RFI: Left Ventricular Failure
-----------------------------

Hi,

In case of left ventricular failure, when assist device is being used 
there is a reduction in the left ventricular end diastolic pressure. 
I want to know why it is so?? Also what is the influence on myocar-
dial oxygen need?

Thanks,
