Heart Failure Management

Helping you help your heart failure patients feel better with our advanced therapies, monitoring solutions, and management services.

OVERVIEW

One in six people will develop heart failure.1,2 More than 670,000 new cases are diagnosed annually in the United States3 — 26 million patients worldwide.3 Heart failure is the most common cause of hospitalizations due to cardiovascular disease in patients over 654. These patients also face many personal challenges:

  • 50% mortality at 5 years5
  • Decreased quality of life
  • Restricted daily activities
  • Increased anxiety

HOW MEDTRONIC CAN HELP

Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) is a beneficial way to manage this disease. CRT is proven to6-14:

  • Improve cardiac function
  • Improve quality of life
  • Reduce mortality
  • Reduce heart failure hospitalizations, as well as all-cause 30-day readmissions following a heart failure hospitalization

Our advanced therapies, monitoring solutions, and management services are designed to help you help your heart failure patients feel better —  while improving the efficiency and effectiveness of heart failure care.
