Overview

Chronic heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is common and yet therapeutic options available to date are limited. Increased left atrial pressure is a key contributor to the symptoms in HFpEF. A novel catheter-based device has been developed, which is designed to lower left atrial pressure by creating a permanent shunt in the atrial septum. Use of this device could reduce the risk of hospitalisation for heart failure and improve the symptomatic status and quality of life in HFpEF patients with advanced symptoms.

Keywords:
