New Frontiers in LVAD Care: Live Long and Prosper

In this series of talks, we’ll boldly explore the next frontier of Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) technology, focusing on the latest advancements in intelligent monitoring, patient selection, device design, and clinical trial strategies. As LVADs continue to evolve, clinicians, researchers, and engineers are working to enhance patient outcomes through smarter monitoring, automated adjustments, personalized treatment approaches, and evidence-based design and management strategies. From real-time monitoring to precision medicine in patient selection, and from next-generation LVAD technology to inclusive clinical trials, each session will provide critical insights into how we can make heart failure management more precise, proactive, and patient-centric. Prepare to engage with the pioneers of LVAD technology and steer into the future—because in cardiac care, resistance to innovation is futile!
