Core Tip	Heart failure remains the most common diagnosis in patients discharged from the hospital. In its most advanced stages, it bears a grim prognosis and there are only a limited number of treatments that can truly change the course of the disease. Advancements in left ventricular assist device technology have enticed clinicians to expand their role in earlier ambulatory, but advanced heart failure. Here, we describe the current equilibrium between early implantation and risks of the current technology.
