Overview

Understanding heart failure.

Heart failure affects over 6 million Americans. When medications alone cannot control symptoms, advanced therapies including left ventricular assist devices (LVADs), heart transplantation, and surgical interventions become critical considerations.

Why It Matters

Why you need a second opinion.

Advanced heart failure management involves some of the most complex and consequential decisions in medicine. LVAD as destination therapy vs bridge to transplant, transplant listing criteria, and surgical optimization of the failing heart all require multidisciplinary expertise. Patients are often unaware of options available at advanced heart failure centers.

Critical Decisions

Key decisions for heart failure.

LVAD candidacy: bridge to transplant vs destination therapy

Surgical ventricular restoration or mitral repair
Optimal medical therapy maximization
Palliative care integration and goals of care
