The advanced heart failure and cardiac transplant fellow position is a one-year sub-speciality training post for a senior cardiology trainee in the Mater Hospital.
With the help of our supporters, the Mater Hospital Foundation was proud to support this important position in 2024 by funding €49,723.
The fellow is central to the care of complex advanced heart failure patients around the country. They are also integral to the posttransplant care of over 200 patients in Ireland who are living with a heart transplant as well as those patients around the country living with a left ventricular assist device heart pump.
In addition, the fellow is involved in the delivery of national cardiac amyloid and sarcoidosis services delivered by the Mater and are central to the running of multiple international clinical trials in amyloidosis and heart failure in which the Mater are involved in order to improve access to newer treatments for patients.
Without the generous support of the Mater Hospital Foundation, the delivery of many of these specialised services would not be possible.
