Abstract

Patients with advanced heart failure who are thinking about getting an LVAD may now have questions and concerns about COVID-19. With the enhancement, the project team will develop a resource about COVID-19. During visits with LVAD clinic staff, patients can view this resource as they use the decision aid. The resource will focus on: Risks of delaying LVAD treatment and doctor's visits Concerns about being in the hospital ICU after surgery Ways to reduce the risk of getting COVID-19 before and after surgery
