Giving a failing heart the mechanical strength to keep going.
Facing end-stage heart failure is an overwhelming experience for any patient and their family. Deciding on a Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) is a monumental, life-changing step toward restoring your heart’s circulation and regaining your quality of life. Shifara Health exists so that this major decision, and every medical detail involved in your treatment journey, is never something you have to carry alone.
A Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) is a mechanical, battery-operated pump implanted inside the heart. It takes over the workload of the weakened lower left chamber (the left ventricle) and pumps oxygen-rich blood directly into the aorta, restoring proper circulation to the rest of the body.
An LVAD can be used as a “bridge to transplant” (sustaining a patient while awaiting a suitable donor heart) or as “destination therapy” (a permanent solution to improve long-term survival and vitality). India’s top advanced heart failure centers feature world-class cardiothoracic surgical teams who perform complex LVAD implantations—such as HeartMate 3 placement—with exceptionally high survival rates and precision post-operative management.
Advanced heart failure care requires sophisticated technology, specialized cardiac ICUs, and multidisciplinary medical teams. India’s premier heart centers offer these state-of-the-art facilities with immediate access, avoiding the long wait times often encountered in Western healthcare systems. For international patients from the Gulf, Africa, and beyond, India delivers world-class mechanical circulatory support at a fraction of global costs, without compromising clinical quality or safety.
We compile your cardiac records, echocardiograms, and catheterization reports for comprehensive review by India’s top heart failure and transplant specialists. We handle all travel logistics, medical visas, and priority hospital admissions so you can focus entirely on your health.
A dedicated Shifara Health team member meets you upon arrival. Your pre-operative heart failure evaluations, room booking, and initial specialist team consultations are completely organized in advance.
From the operating theater through your recovery in the specialized cardiac ICU, our team stays close. We facilitate all communications between your surgical team, you, and your family back home, keeping everyone informed every step of the way.
Living with an LVAD requires thorough patient and caregiver training on device care, battery management, and medication regimens before discharge. We coordinate your step-down care, rehabilitation, travel home, and continuous virtual follow-ups with your cardiac team long after you return.
We believe in transparency before commitment. The figure below is a starting point. Your Shifara Health advisor will share a personalized estimate based on your condition, chosen device model, hospital selection, and care plan.
