You should never face this alone.
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 major 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.
What is an LVAD Procedure?
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” (long-term support intended to improve survival and quality of life). Advanced heart failure centers in India have cardiothoracic surgical teams who perform LVAD implantations—such as HeartMate 3 placement—and manage post-operative care.
Why opt for LVAD Procedure in India?
Advanced heart failure care requires sophisticated technology, specialized cardiac ICUs, and multidisciplinary medical teams. Heart centers in India offer these facilities with prompt access, avoiding the long wait times often encountered in Western healthcare systems. For international patients from the Gulf, Africa, and beyond, India offers mechanical circulatory support at a fraction of global costs.
