UF Health Heart Failure Team

At UF Health, we are very proud to be at the forefront of heart failure science, and have been a worldwide pioneer in stem cell therapies for heart failure for decades.

Our current research trials evaluate the effectiveness of combining various stem cell and regenerative medicine techniques, providing cell therapy in new patient populations, and attempting to improve left ventricular function and quality of life.


VAD (Ventricular Assisted Device)

Our multi-disciplinary team brings extensive expertise and compassionate care to each case, treating every individual like family. This is our goal when it comes to our patients and their loved ones. Click below to watch a story from one of our LVAD recipients, Gail Morrell.
