MCS UPDATE AND BH RESULTS
Transplant Selection Criteria Inclusion Criteria Includes: End-stage cardiac disease defined by New York Heart Association Call III/IV with limited expected survival of less than 1 year. Psychosocial stability and supportive family/social structure as defined by social assessments. No expectation of improvement with alternative medical or surgical treatment. Long-term adherence to a disciplined medical regimen, must be feasible and realistic.
Transplant Selection Criteria Exclusion Criteria Includes: Ongoing emotional instability with uncontrolled psychotic disorder Unresolved malignancy Severe pulmonary disease Active hepatitis, cirrhosis, or chronic liver disease Active illegal drug, tobacco or excessive alcohol use Severe peripheral-arterial disease Diabetes, which is poorly controlled Severe or irreversible pulmonary hypertension BMI >35 (must loose recommended weight before transplant
Transplant Selection Criteria Exclusion Criteria Continued: Neurological impairment which prevents understanding of, and active participation in the transplant process and therapies Any existing condition in which of itself would limit life expectancy and/or pose a threat to good outcomes following transplantation Age >70 years unless no other coexisting medial conditions which would threaten a good outcome with transplantation Active infection (systemic) Severe renal disease

ADVANCED HEART FAILURE CLINIC Mechanical Circulatory Support
HeartMate III: Design Goals Build upon the highly successful HeartMate II LVAS Enhanced AE profile Increased surgical ease Elevate the patient experience
Heartware
Indications for Use Mechanical Circulatory Support Bridge to Transplant Non-reversible left heart failure Imminent risk of death Candidate for cardiac transplantation Destination Therapy NYHA Class IIIB or IV heart failure Optimal medical therapy 45 of last 60 days Does not have to be transplant candidate Inotrope dependent for 2 weeks Supported with short term VAD 23
Heartmate Selection Criteria End Stage Ventricular Failure with NYHA Class IV symptoms despite optimal medical therapy for at least 60 of last 90 days Maximum VO2 Less than or equal to 14 ml/kg/min, or inotrope dependent Documented left ventricular EF less than 25%
Heartmate Exclusion Criteria AR Medicaid does not reimburse for LVAD Irreversible non-cardiac disease state with less than 2 year survival rate Severe PVD with impending tissue loss History of Noncompliance Inadequate Right Heart Function Severe Cerebrovascular Disease Active systemic infection Severe Irreversible Pulmonary Hypertension Dementia Lack of Caregiver Support End Stage Renal Disease Diseases that would impair effective rehabilitation Current Substance Abuse Inability to take anticoagulation or refusal of blood products

Timing Of Patient Referral For Evaluation A range of referral criteria assessments and scoring systems can be utilized to define the right moment to screen a patient for a transplant or MCS implant. 1 Appropriate timing for referral is when a patient presents in Class IIIB or IV heart failure and has more than one of the functional or laboratory risk factors. 1 Russell SD, Miller LW, Pagani FD.
