Clinic for advanced heart failure therapies

When you or your loved one is experiencing heart failure, you might wonder how your condition will affect your daily life and what treatments are available to help you.

Here at the Tendick Center for Advanced Heart Failure Therapies, our compassionate, experienced team provides unmatched experience in diagnosing and treating heart failure. We have a national reputation for clinical excellence, innovation and training the next generation of medical providers.

Heart failure treatments

We take time to understand your wishes and strive to create a treatment plan to accommodate these goals. These options for care include:

  • Ventricular assist devices: This mechanical device can be used short-term while you’re waiting for a heart transplant or long-term if you’re not eligible or prefer not to receive a transplant.
  • Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: This lifesaving technology circulates blood outside your body while you’re waiting for a heart transplant.
  • Heart transplant: During a heart transplant, a surgeon replaces your heart with a healthy heart from a donor.

Patient referral

If you’re a physician seeking a referral for your patient, one of the nation’s best program for heart failure care is right here in Wisconsin.

We provide a shared model of care in which we evaluate patients and make recommendations. We then coordinate their plan of care with you, allowing them to maintain their longstanding relationships with you.

Call 866-292-6668 to refer a patient.
