Myocardial recovery occurs in a substantial portion of paediatric patients supported with durable left ventricular assist devices, and sustainable recovery is seen in around three-quarters of them. Even children with severely dilated ventricles due to myocarditis can show recovery. Clinicians should be attentive to (developing) myocardial recovery. These results can be used to develop internationally approved paediatric weaning guidelines.
