Personalized Treatment for Better Outcomes

At the Center for Advanced Heart Failure at Keck Medicine of USC, our team of specialists have years of experience improving your heart health.

Heart failure occurs when the heart is weak and no longer pumps blood as it should. Although heart failure cannot be cured, many patients experience significant recovery with individualized treatment.

Our center includes a dedicated left ventricular assist device (LVAD) team that provides an integrated, comprehensive approach to care — from evaluations to treatment management and beyond.

We will create a plan that works best for you. We use advanced screenings, noninvasive treatments and specialized surgeries to address your unique needs.
