Description: With a successful decade-long track record, we are proud to announce Prisma Health is the #1 non-transplant LVAD implanting center in the U.S., according to manufacturer Abbott Labs, with standards above the national benchmarks.

In 2012 Prisma Health Heart Hospital became the only South Carolina hospital in the Midlands to offer the left ventricular assist device (LVAD), an implanted device to help pump oxygen-rich blood for heart failure patients. Now with a successful decade-long track record, we are proud to announce Prisma Health is the #1 non-transplant LVAD implanting center in the U.S., according to manufacturer Abbott Labs, with standards above the national benchmarks.

As patients’ heart failure symptoms get worse and physical activities become more difficult, the heart failure class level changes from early-stage heart failure (Class I and II) to advanced heart failure (Class III and IV).

For advanced patients, LVAD has been shown to:

Decrease heart failure symptoms
Improve quality of life
Help patients live longer.

Prisma Health is proud to offer this life-changing, innovative treatment for your patients.

For LVAD patient referrals, call the Advanced Heart Health Center at 803-434-2762.
