Description

Innovation starts from the heart. Heart valve disease and critical care therapies impact millions of lives, spanning all ages and geographies.

As communities globally address the opportunities and challenges of cardiovascular care, telling a compelling and authentic story is more crucial than ever.

Beyond raising awareness, our Marketing teams build lasting, trusted relationships with medical professionals and industry stakeholders to ensure patients can receive the treatments they need.

Aortic stenosis impacts millions of people globally, yet it often remains under-diagnosed and under treated.

Edwards' groundbreaking work in transcatheter aortic heart valve replacement (TAVR) pioneered an innovative, life-changing solution for patients by offering heart valve replacement without the need for open heart surgery.

Our Transcatheter Heart Valve (THV) business unit continues to partner with cardiologists and clinical teams to transform patient care with devices supported by clinical evidence.
