Advanced Heart Failure Today

OVER 6.2 MILLION adults in the United States have heart failure.1

Heart failure is a complex, progressive disease that can be challenging to manage.2,3 It is associated with a markedly poor prognosis and significantly reduced quality of life, leading to increased risk of death.2,3

The mortality rate for heart failure

INCREASED BY 24%4
(between 2011-2017)

Patients hospitalized for heart failure have a

Median Survival of < 2.4 Years5

Heart failure in the United States is attributed to

Over 350,000 Deaths Per Year4

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

Advanced Heart Failure Therapy

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.3

Fortunately, continuous innovation is creating more options for Mechanical Circulatory Support (MCS) 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.7 With HeartMate 3 LVAD outcomes, LVAD therapy can be considered for more patients with advanced heart failure.6
