Advanced Heart Failure and Transplant Cardiology

Advanced Heart Failure is a condition where the heart's ability to pump blood effectively is severely compromised, causing symptoms like fatigue, shortness of breath, and fluid buildup despite treatment. Transplant Cardiology specializes in managing these severe cases, often considering heart transplantation as a treatment option. Transplant cardiologists evaluate and prepare patients for transplant, coordinate care, and monitor outcomes. The goal is to improve quality of life and survival when standard therapies no longer suffice, using advanced medical strategies and, when appropriate, replacing the failing heart with a healthy donor organ.
