Summary
This study tests a new mechanical heart pump (EVAHEART®2) against a current standard pump in 399 adults with advanced heart failure. The goal is to see if the new pump helps people survive until a heart transplant or recover enough to have the pump removed, without major complications like disabling stroke or severe right heart failure. Participants must have severe heart failure symptoms and a weak heart pumping ability.
