Nutrition support program for people with LVADs in the hospital
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests whether an enhanced nutrition plan can improve care for adults who already have an LVAD (a heart pumping device). It’s designed for hospitalized patients and looks at who can safely eat by mouth while avoiding high-risk situations.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
