Heart Failure Patients Show Promising Results with Experimental Device

Caption

Dr. William Abraham listens to the heart of Richard Jacob at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. Jacob was the first heart failure patient in the US to test an experimental device known as C-Pulse. Dr. Abraham has authored a new study showing that the device slowed or reversed the symptoms of heart failure in several patients, boosting their stamina and often doubling their quality of life scores.
