Finding Hope for Heart Failure

We know a heart failure diagnosis comes with a lot of emotions and worry, but your treatment team will be there to ensure your journey to better health is as positive and successful as possible.

The first step is understanding that heart failure is a serious condition affecting more than 900,000 Americans yearly. While there's no cure, early detection and treatment are essential to best manage the symptoms. Many people lead full lives when heart failure is managed well with the right medical treatments and lifestyle changes.

If you've developed advanced heart failure, also known as congestive heart failure (CHF), our physicians may recommend an advanced surgical solution like a ventricular assist device (VAD) implant or a consultation with a heart transplant specialist. As the only heart transplant program in Central Florida, AdventHealth provides the most advanced and innovative procedures to give you and your family new hope.
