Market & Competition for LVADs

Market and Competitive Market Size Heart failure is the leading cause of death worldwide and incidence and quality of life are lower than those of other chronic diseases. Over 10 million people worldwide suffer from heart failure. Approximately 5 million people in the United States alone suffer from heart failure, with more than 500,000 new diagnoses each year. Approximately 10% of patients with heart failure, about 1 million are in the final stage of the condition, and according to the guidelines of the New York Heart Association, these patients are considered Grade IV heart failure patients.

With continuous improvement of LVAD technology, the quality of life and the number of LVAD patients are also increasing. Today 's LVAD patient. Today's LVAD patients have an annual survival rate of at least 85%, can enjoy life, and can even resume work in many cases. In contrast, progressive heart failure, which is only known by drug therapy, has an annual survival rate of 25 to 50%.

Left ventricular assist device (LVAD) is our pump for patients who have reached end-stage heart failure. We surgically embed the LVAD, battery powered mechanical pump and help the left ventricle (the main pump chamber of the heart) to pump blood to other parts of the body. LVAD can be used as follows. LVAD's job is to help reduce the pumping of the left ventricle. Unlike in the past, LVAD devices are currently portable. This means that you can return home using LVAD and continue normal activities while waiting for the heart to become available. In order to receive LVAD, we need to perform a lot of tests to make sure you are a good candidate for the device.

LVAD is a surgically implanted mechanical pump that connects to the heart. LVAD is different from artificial heart. The artificial heart completely replaces the heart of heart failure and LVAD works with the heart and helps to collect more blood with less effort. This is done by always taking blood from the left ventricle and moving it into the aorta. The aorta then supplies oxygen-rich blood from the whole blood to the aorta. LVAD has internal and external components. The actual pump is next to or near the left ventricle of the heart, and there are lined up tubes that feed blood into the aorta. A cable called a powertrain extends from the pump, penetrates the skin and connects the pump to the controller and the external power source.
