~ 1 million Canadians are living with heart failure.

The HeartWare™ Ventricular Assist Device (HVAD™) System features the world's smallest, commercially available, centrifugal flow pump.

Heart Failure

Heart failure occurs when your heart isn’t pumping enough blood to meet your body’s needs. As a result, fluid may build up in the legs, lungs, and in other tissues throughout the body.
