概述

The internationally recognized UCSF Advanced Heart Failure Evaluation and Therapies Program now offers a convenient outreach clinic in 弗里蒙特. Beginning in November 2014, the clinic, located at the Washington Township Medical 基金会 offices, is designed to provide a convenient consultative service for our cardiology colleagues by expanding the spectrum of therapeutic options for advanced heart failure patients in the local community. A major goal is to identify patients early who may benefit from advanced heart failure therapies such as heart 移植ation or mechanical circulatory 支持（MCS）设备. This will allow a convenient collaboration between local cardiologists and their colleagues at UCSF医疗中心.

心脏移植项目

With more than 20 years of experience in heart 移植ation, the UCSF 心脏移植项目 is one of the most experienced programs in the region with excellent outcomes. Although there are established criteria for heart 移植 candidacy, UCSF, as an academic medical center, has greater access to progressive devices, making more patients eligible for 移植.

Modalities incorporated in treatment of patients with advanced heart failure include:

• Imaging modalities, such as 3-D echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, cardiac positron emission tomography and coronary computed tomography.
• Invasive/interventional procedures, including right- and left-heart catheterization, myocardial biopsy, coronary angioplasty, valvuloplasty and alcohol septal ablation.
• Cardiac surgeries, including mitral valve repair, ventricular reconstruction and high-risk coronary artery bypass.
