In this episode of AbbottTalks, hosts Tom Salemi and Kayleen Brown sit down with Dr. Finn Gustafsson, Chief Medical Officer for Abbott’s Heart Failure business, to discuss how Abbott’s technologies are transforming care across every stage of heart failure.
Dr. Gustafsson—who spent decades in academic medicine before joining Abbott—explains how the company’s CentriMag™ System, HeartMate 3™ LVAD, and CardioMEMS™ HF System stabilize, sustain, and empower patients in each phase of the condition. The conversation explores what sets Abbott’s approach apart: early intervention through pulmonary artery pressure monitoring, mechanical circulatory support for critically ill patients, and long-term LVAD therapy that’s helping extend lives beyond five years. Lastly, Dr. Gustafsson shares insights from pivotal studies such as MOMENTUM 3, ARIES, and ASPIRE, which demonstrate how Abbott’s focus on evidence and patient experience is advancing the entire field.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
