	abstract = {The use of mechanical circulatory support (MCS) as treatment for advanced heart failure (HF) has grown exponentially over the past 15 years. The continuous flow left ventricular assist device (CF-LVAD) has become the most used form of MCS in advanced HF, especially since approval of use as destination therapy (DT) and with the lack of organ availability. Long-term survival has improved and diligent outpatient management is thus particularly critical to achieve optimal outcomes. This review will discuss outpatient management strategies for patients with HF and a left ventricular assist device (LVAD).},
