HeartMate 3 LVAD

With Full Maglev Flow Technology

Patient Education

Patient Education

Patients with advanced heart failure may not fully grasp that heart failure is a serious, progressive disease. They may not realize how sick they truly are until it’s too late.

Time may run out for patients put on the heart transplantation waiting list. The condition may require earlier intervention than a donor heart would become available. Some patients may benefit from a left ventricular assist device (LVAD).

You can help your patients understand if HeartMate 3™ LVAD therapy might be a treatment option before their heart failure worsens, giving them more time to decide and plan for treatment.
