A Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) is a mechanical pump used to support heart function in patients with severe heart failure. It helps the left ventricle, the heart's main pumping chamber, circulate blood to the rest of the body. LVADs can be used as a temporary solution while waiting for a heart transplant or as a long-term treatment for those who are not candidates for surgery. The device is implanted in the chest and connected to the heart and aorta. It continuously pumps blood, improving circulation and reducing symptoms like fatigue and shortness of breath. LVADs can significantly enhance the quality of life for patients with advanced heart conditions.
