What Is The Life Expectancy Of Having A Left Ventricular Assist Device?
Hello, my husband is 54 years old and is being considered for the Lvad device. He has never had a heart related incident before this current congestive heart failure event. He has been in good health all his life. Non smoker. What is his reasonable life expectancy after receiving this device.

Hi,
There is no reliable data which can give an idea about life expectancy.
Life expectancy depends upon the condition of the heart.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
