About 12 months after receiving his pacemaker, Tyrone’s heart began retaining fluid – a dangerous complication for someone with congestive heart failure – and his doctors recommended our CardioMEMS HF System. The heart failure monitoring system allows Morris’ doctors to keep a close watch on him, wherever he is.
But even with the pacemaker and CardioMEMS, Tyrone’s heart kept getting worse – he needed a transplant. As a bridge-to-transplant therapy, his doctors implanted our HeartMate 3 Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD). The HeartMate 3 LVAD takes over the pumping function of your heart and can prolong the lives of those waiting for a transplant. [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
