HeartMate (by Abbott)

HeartMate is a type of left ventricular assist device (LVAD) developed by Abbott, designed to help patients with advanced heart failure. It works by taking over the pumping function of the heart's left ventricle, improving blood flow to vital organs. This device can be used as a long-term solution for those waiting for a heart transplant or as a bridge to recovery for patients whose hearts may heal. HeartMate is implanted surgically and helps enhance quality of life, increasing the ability to perform daily activities and improving overall health outcomes.
