Monitoring of patients with Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD)

LVADs are surgically implanted to patients with advanced heart failure (i.e. the patients who have significant symptoms despite receiving the best possible treatment). LVADs are pumps which help the heart pump blood, improving symptoms and quality of life of patients.

LVADs are used as destination treatment or as “bridge to transplant”, in order to help patients waiting for heart transplant until a graft is found.

Management of LVAD patients requires knowledge and special equipment. In CardioHealth Center we have the required experience, knowledge and equipment in order to be able to monitor LVAD patients.
