Heart failure and transplant care questions

Common questions about advanced heart failure, transplant care, and LVAD therapy at Intermountain Medical Center.

The clinic treats advanced and end‑stage heart failure and related conditions. Care may include medical management, transplant evaluation, or mechanical support such as LVAD therapy. A specialist can help determine the right approach.
LVAD therapy uses a mechanical pump to help the heart circulate blood. It may be used while waiting for a transplant or as long‑term therapy for patients who are not transplant candidates.
Eligibility depends on heart function, overall health, and individual goals. A thorough evaluation helps determine which advanced therapies may be appropriate.
Patients receive ongoing monitoring, education, and coordinated follow‑up after treatment. The care team supports patients through recovery and long‑term management.
