In-office and Take-home Learning Tools
Offer your patients resources to shape their understanding of MCS options for advanced heart failure therapy and address common concerns. Our profiles present patients who tell their account of their own experiences living with advanced heart failure and deciding to receive a VAD. Use these learning tools during a clinical consultation, or give them to patients and their families for take-home review.
