Management of COVID-19 in a Durable Left Ventricular Assist Device Recipient: A Continuity of Care Perspective	2020-08-20		.txt	text/plain	1865	127	44	Though the severe respiratory clinical manifestations of this disease have been well reported, the data regarding cardiovascular presentations and outcomes of patients infected with coronavirus disease 2019 are rapidly emerging. 2 This report describes the clinical course of a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) recipient with acute COVID-19 infection from initial hospital admission to outpatient management. This includes a relatively benign clinical course in a patient with multiple co-morbidities, probably due to immunomodulatory effect of LVAD support. Management of COVID-19 infection has largely been guided by standard respiratory care, case reports, expert opinion, small randomized clinical trials, and prior experience with SARS-CoV-1, MERS, and H1N1. We describe a unique case of a patient mild COVID-19 infection on LVAD support. However, prompt diagnosis, supportive care, and close follow-up are vital in the management of LVAD recipients with COVID-19 infection.
