We serve a large population of patient who have undergone open heart surgery and have had a continuous-flow left ventricular assist device (CF-LVAD) implanted. In the absence of pulsatile arterial flow, it is difficult to obtain an SBP. Has there been thought to having a different clinical data element for these patients in place of the SBP? Has there been consideration to use a MAP?
