Novel tools and strategies in chronic heart failure

21 May 2025 – From EuroPCR 2025

Discover novel tools and therapeutic strategies in chronic heart failure management. This session presents early clinical experiences with innovative devices such as a chronically-adjustable pressure sensing interatrial shunt, synchronized diaphragmatic stimulation, high-flow pLVADs for cardiogenic shock, and renal artery denervation. Additionally, it reviews the impact of...
