That 10% requires spendings equivalent to 80% of the global cost for heart failure, i.e., $144B.

Current treatments are not optimal

While great improvements in chronic heart failure therapy have been achieved in the last decade, mortality and readmission rates have seen a limited impact. Current hemodynamic support options are extremely costly and require open heart surgery, making them a rarely offered solution.

What is heart failure ?

Heart failure is a very common chronic condition where the heart is no longer able to pump blood efficiently

 

Patients with heart failure are very fragile and prone to acute decompensation of their condition leading to repeated hospital readmissions. Heart failure is irreversible and eventually becomes refractive to medical therapy.

Advanced heart failure patients generally lead a very limited life by shortness of breath, which can be manifested during exercise and at rest.
