How is it diagnosed?

A left ventricular assist device (LVAD) is a pump that we use for patients who have reached end-stage heart failure. We surgically implant the LVAD, a battery-operated, mechanical pump, which then helps the left ventricle (main pumping chamber of the heart) pump blood to the rest of the body

The main pump is inserted into the tip of the heart. The blood pumps through a flexible plastic tube to the body's main artery, called the aorta. The aorta sends blood to the rest of the body. A cord inserted through an opening in the skin connects the pump to a control unit and battery pack outside the body.
