Based on Left Ventricular Assist Devices (LVAD) units implanted, Prisma Health is the #1 non-transplant LVAD implanting center in the U.S. with standards above the national benchmarks. LVAD is a life-saving procedure for patients with worsening heart failure.
As patients’ heart failure symptoms worsen and physical activities become more difficult, the heart failure class level changes from early-stage heart failure (Class I and II) to advanced heart failure (Class III and IV).
For advanced patients, LVAD has been shown to:
- Decrease heart failure symptoms
- Improve quality of life
- Help patients live longer
