Welcome to www.heartfailurematters.org, the patient website of the Heart Failure Association of the European Society of Cardiology.
The animation below shows how a number of advanced medical devices can be used to help patients that suffer from heart failure. These devices support your heart by using painless electrical signals to keep it beating regularly and/or improve function. They may not only improve symptoms but can also contribute to improve long-term survival.
