NEW LVAD
Mon, 12/02/2019 - 4:18PMHi everybody, I got this email this morning and I read there's a new device that is implanted including the batteries. I don't think I want to go through the surgery again,but I would like to find out if the batteries will be replaced with the ones that I have and are lighter than the ones I have; and if they are compatible. You all take care and Peace be with you all.
Could you be a little more…

Batteries
Sat, 12/26/2020 - 6:58PMI had an appointment with my cardiologist in December 2020, he told me that new lighter batteries may be available after the 2nd quarter 2021. I have the HM III. I have not been able to verify this independently, however he certainly seemed to be in the know. Let’s hope so.
