Advanced Heart Failure Today

Advanced Heart Failure Today

Heart failure is a complex, progressive syndrome that can be challenging to manage.1,2 It is associated with a markedly poor prognosis and significantly reduced quality of life, leading to increased risk of death.1,2

Today, left ventricular assist
devices (LVADs) are making a better
future possible for many patients
with advanced heart failure.6

Treatment Path

From preventing heart-failure–related hospitalization to improving quality of life and extending survival, clinicians play a critical role in identifying heart failure progression early enough to make a significant difference in patients’ lives.

It’s important to recognize when medications alone are not enough, and advanced therapies need to be considered.2

Devices by NYHA Class

In New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class II heart failure, cardiac resynchronization therapy may be appropriate.7

As disease progresses to NYHA Class III, actionable, remote measurement of pulmonary arterial pressure is proven to reduce heart failure hospitalizations and mortality.8,9

Triggers for consideration of LVAD Therapy:10

  i. Persistently high PA pressures
  ii. Non-responsive to diuretics or neurohormonal agents
  iii. 6 MWD < 300 m
  iv. Heart failure hospitalizations
  v. ECHO exam unchanged

 

Advanced Therapies

Clinicians play a critical role in identifying heart failure progression early enough to help prevent heart failure-related hospitalizations, improve quality of life and extend survival for patients.

Even with optimal medical management, medications can become less effective as heart failure progresses. It’s important to recognize when medications alone are not enough, and advanced therapies need to be considered.2

Fortunately, continuous innovation is creating more options for patients with advanced heart failure, offering more hope for better lives.

Heart transplantation continues to be limited by the shortage of donor hearts or wait times.11 With HeartMate 3™ LVAD outcomes, LVAD therapy can be considered for more patients with advanced heart failure.6
