Heart pump vs. pills: which works better for Late-Stage heart failure?
NCT ID NCT04768322
First seen May 08, 2026 · Last updated May 08, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a mechanical heart pump (LVAD) helps people with advanced heart failure live longer and feel better compared to taking medications alone. About 92 adults with end-stage heart failure will be randomly assigned to get an LVAD or continue with guideline-recommended medical therapy. Researchers will track deaths, emergency procedures, hospital stays, and quality of life to see which approach is more effective.
