And the distribution was very similar to what you would see or expect.
Fatigue was up there.
Dyspnea was up there.
And then we reframed the question and we said, well, what are the most challenging symptoms that these patients have?
And then there was a whole different distribution.
Ascites showed up and I was very confused.
I was like, wow, I never thought that this would be so commonly seen as a challenging symptom amongst heart failure patients, even though now in retrospect makes sense, confusion came up, anxiety came up.
And even though when we asked them, are you comfortable with diuresis?
Most people said yes, but I think in practice we know
that I'm not sure if we're getting the most bang for our buck when it comes to just simple heart failure therapies.
And so I completely agree with you.
I think unless we don't have these sort of partnerships between the heart failure community and the hospice community and the palliative care community and really everyone, there'll be big misses that we'll make.
There will be rooms for improvement.
yeah so lvads are uh
As far as LVADs are concerned, it's one of the most extreme medical inventions we've ever come up with, right?
I mean, this thing is unlike anything else.
And I will say that the vast majority of patients with LVADs still die in the hospital, unfortunately.
And you might argue that that may not be such a bad thing.
This is an intervention that is highly complex.
As soon as you turn off an LVAD, essentially all the medications in your bloodstream might stop circulating.
