What is LVAD?
LVAD (left ventricular assist device) is a type of mechanical circulatory device that is usually recommended to patients who have a history of heart attack or whose heart muscles are very weak and incapable of working on their own. It is a small mechanical pump that can be directly implanted in the left ventricle, so as to aid the heart in carrying out its function of pumping blood to various parts of the body.
The device may also be used by patients who are waiting for a heart transplant and have not found a donor yet. Left ventricular assist device is totally different from an artificial heart as it does not replace the organ but rather assists it. Also referred to as a 'bridge to transplant, left ventricular assist device might also be recommended as a destination therapy for terminally ill patients.
The device has 4 basic parts - a pump, a tube, a driveline and a controller.
The pump is surgically implanted in the apex of the heart where it receives the blood, which is then carried to the aorta via the tube. The pump is attached to the driveline and the controller. The device runs on rechargeable batteries.
Left ventricular assist device not only helps to restore your blood flow but also helps to alleviate symptoms like chest discomfort and pain.
