Up to 3 out of 4 people hospitalized with heart failure may die in 5 years.2
Recognizing subtle or overt signs that heart failure is advancing is critical to your patient’s long-term survival and quality of life. There are options to help you optimize medical therapy and in some cases offer solutions beyond medication.
Patients not on GDMT had nearly 30% increased risk of mortality.1
Only 1% of HFrEF patients are receiving optimal medical therapy.3
Up to 94% of Stage D heart failure patients only on GDMT may die within 1 year.4
A discussion between Drs. Kelly Axsom and Phil Adamson about how there needs to be a paradigm shift to use BNP as a marker to help catch patients sooner in their heart failure progression.
This paper highlights the known health care disparities that exist in the care of patients with HF and provides context for how clinicians and researchers should assess both biological and social determinants of HF risk in vulnerable populations, while providing a framework for future steps that can be used to help diminish inequalities in access and clinical outcomes over time, and offer solutions to help decrease disparities within HF care.
Technology can help optimize heart failure medications and support your patients as their heart failure advances. Learn more about how each of these devices can help you and your patients.
As heart failure progresses there are clinical events and triggers. Recognize the symptoms of advancing heart failure in your patients.

Clinics are listed in order of geographic proximity from the information entered in the locator. Abbott does not endorse any of the clinics on this locator, but merely provides them as a courtesy. Nor does Abbott represent that this is a full list of clinics in a particular location. Though Abbott attempts to regularly update the locator, the locator may not have the latest information regarding the clinic or provider, or availability of product.
The clinics are included in the locator because they satisfy one or both of the following: have ordered at least 3 CardioMEMS HF Systems in total and at least one in the last year if an implanting center, or have requested inclusion and have managed at least 3 CardioMEMS HF System patients in the last 12 months if a non-implanting center; and/or because they are certified as a HeartMate LVAD implanting center, have ordered at least one HeartMate LVAD in the last 12 months, and have all HeartMate LVAD device-related equipment required for patient management. The number of orders has been validated; the number of implants has not been validated.
This locator includes US clinics only. No clinics or healthcare professionals (HCPs) have paid or received a fee to be listed, but some HCPs within the clinics on this locator may purchase products from Abbott, provide consulting services to Abbott, and/or may have a financial relationship with Abbott. The locator is not meant to be an endorsement for any particular clinic, nor does it represent the qualifications of the HCPs at the clinic. Abbott cannot provide medical advice regarding whether it’s appropriate for your patients to be implanted.
