How Abbott is rethinking heart failure management through smarter monitoring and long-term support

DeviceTalks Podcast Network

In this episode of AbbottTalks, hosts Tom Salemi and Kayleen Brown sit down with Dr. Finn Gustafsson, Chief Medical Officer for Abbott’s Heart Failure business, to discuss how Abbott’s technologies are transforming care across every stage of heart failure.

Dr. Gustafsson—who spent decades in academic medicine before joining Abbott—explains how the company’s CentriMag™ System, HeartMate 3™ LVAD, and CardioMEMS™ HF System stabilize, sustain, and empower patients in each phase of the condition. The conversation explores what sets Abbott’s approach apart: early intervention through pulmonary artery pressure monitoring, mechanical circulatory support for critically ill patients, and long-term LVAD therapy that’s helping extend lives beyond five years. Lastly, Dr. Gustafsson shares insights from pivotal studies such as MOMENTUM 3, ARIES, and ASPIRE, which demonstrate how Abbott’s focus on evidence and patient experience is advancing the entire field.
