Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD)

A Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) is a mechanical pump designed for implantation in individuals suffering from heart failure. Its primary function is to assist the left ventricle, the lower chamber of the heart, in pumping blood from the ventricle to the aorta and then throughout the rest of the body. This is why it is referred to as a Left Ventricular Assist Device.

Symptoms

The primary symptoms include:

Frequent coughing
Inability to recline comfortably during nighttime
Noticeable increase in body weight
Difficulty breathing
Abdominal swelling

When to access Medical Care

An LVAD is a viable treatment option for specific individuals facing end-stage heart failure. If you are considering an LVAD, a thorough evaluation is essential to determine its suitability for your particular case.

This recommendation may be made if you are awaiting a heart transplant and currently do not meet the eligibility criteria due to factors like age or other underlying conditions.

It’s important to note that an LVAD is not suitable for every patient. If you have underlying medical issues like clotting disorders, kidney dysfunction, liver disease, lung problems, or active infections, you may not qualify as a candidate for an LVAD.

Determinants of risk

Among the most prevalent risks associated with LVADs are:

Infection
Formation of blood clots leading to stroke
Bleeding complications
Right heart failure
Kidney damage
LVAD malfunction

Recovery process

Recovery duration varies, contingent on factors like patient characteristics, chosen procedure, and the extent of severity.
