called the left ventricle, to pump blood. This may contribute to the development of heart failure over time. AFib with a rapid ventricular response (elevated heart rates greater than 100 beats per ...

Heart failure is a major health concern, especially for aging populations-it significantly increases mortality rates, and severely impacts quality of life for those affected. Exercise therapy has been ...

We also have over 24 years of mechanical circulatory support experience placing durable left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) for patients in end-stage heart failure. Device improvements and on-going ...
