Use of BTT LVAD strategy which is on the decline in the current allocation policy more often occurred in those who were socioeconomically disadvantaged

JACC Journals @JACCJournals Nov 4

After the 2018 heart allocation policy change, patients from more disadvantaged areas became more likely to be listed with #LVAD as bridge-to-transplant, a lower transplant priority path. No gap existed before.
