The artificial heart, also called a "ventricular assist device" (VAD), is a mechanical device implanted into the body to take over the function of a failing heart. It primarily serves as a temporary solution for patients awaiting a heart transplant, but in some cases, it can be used as a long-term option when a transplant isn't feasible.🙌🫀 #thedoctorpreneuracademy #artificialheart #vad #hearthealth #medicaldevice #hearttransplant #cardiacsupport #lifesavingtech #heartfailure #advancedmedicine
