About Pumpinheart 50% of advanced heart failure patients have HFpEF. Most have no effective treatment options. Existing therapies fail to address elevated left atrial pressure during diastole, the core driver of the disease. Patients are breathless at rest. Their prognosis is poor. And the MedTech industry has yet to solve it. Pumpinheart fixes this. Originating from research at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI), Pumpinheart is developing the world's first transcatheter, implantable ECG-gated diastolic heart pump, a new category of minimally invasive mechanical circulatory support designed specifically for Advanced Stage HFpEF. The device is delivered via an outpatient cath-lab procedure, typically requiring just one overnight stay, and is designed to: Reduce left atrial pressure Improve cardiac filling Allow patients breathless at rest to breathe freely again Improve exercise tolerance and quality of life Extend life expectancy by many years Pumpinheart's foundation is built on deep cardiovascular research, advanced simulation, and early feasibility studies. The company is now preparing for expanded clinical validation and strategic partnerships across the U.S. and Europe.
