Summary

This study examines the deposits and biological material that build up on Impella heart pumps after they are used in patients with heart failure. Researchers will analyze pumps from 200 patients to see if these deposits are linked to the patient's medical history or blood test results. The goal is to learn more about how the body interacts with the pump, not to test a new treatment.
