If heart failure progresses to persistently severe symptoms despite treatment, it is considered advanced heart failure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Norton Heart &amp; Vascular Institute Advanced Heart Failure and Recovery Program employs sophisticated treatments \u2014 including more aggressive medication, mechanical pumps like ventricular assist devices, and access to heart transplants \u2014 to slow the progress of advanced heart failure and alleviate symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More patients with advanced heart failure and other heart conditions entrust their care to Norton Heart &amp; Vascular Institute than any other provider in the Louisville and Southern Indiana area.

The Norton Heart &amp; Vascular Institute Advanced Heart Failure and Recovery Program offers a new way to look at the management of heart failure. Our goal is to avoid putting you in the hospital. When you need care, we&#8217;ll try to get you home the same day.
