Table 1 Criteria of sufficiency of recovery with easily-explantable counterpulsation devices and continuous flow left ventricular assist devices

Counterpulsation devices
EF	↑ 5%
BNP	< 500 pg/mL
Continuous flow LVADs
LVEDD	< 60 mm
LV end-systolic diameter	< 50 mm
EF	> 45%
LV end-diastolic pressure/PCWP	< 12 mmHg
Cardiac Index (resting)	> 2.8 L/min per square

EF: Ejection fraction; LV: Left ventricular; LVAD: Left ventricular assist device; PCWP: Pulmonary capillary wedge pressure; LVEDD: Left ventricular end-diastolic dimension.
