Relief Cardiovascular

6 million Americans are living with heart failure, and nearly half a million experience at least three heart failure hospitalizations every year. These hospitalizations are primarily due to congestion and inadequate response to diuretic medication. To address this, Relief Cardiovascular is developing a closed-loop vascular implant for heart failure that integrates implantable sensors with a mechanism to enhance kidney perfusion. By providing an implantable automated method of volume management that doesn’t rely exclusively on diuretic medications, Relief aims to reduce the burden of heart failure for the millions of heart failure patients, caregivers, and the medical system.
