Advanced heart failure and transplant cardiology covers the care of patients with severe or refractory heart failure, including durable left ventricular assist devices, heart transplant evaluation and follow-up, pulmonary hypertension and cardiogenic shock.
Programmes are commonly about one year after general cardiology, though length and structure differ between countries.
What to compare between programmes
Annual volumes of assist-device implants and transplants at the centre
Involvement in a cardiogenic shock or mechanical support team
Outpatient continuity clinic and pulmonary hypertension exposure
Collaboration with surgery, pharmacy and palliative care
