MOMS LVAD
Tue, 12/01/2015 - 10:45PMHello,
I'm looking for anyone that can give me advice ... My mother is 68 yrs old. My best friend and had a severe heart attack last Christmas Eve. This has been devastating to us but more importantly her. I'm caring for her and she is now on milrinone iv and her amazing team of Cardiologists are trying to get her to be accepted as candidate for LVAD she finally accepted to do this. She is 100 lbs and I'm reading things like most patients get a year out of this... Please tell me this is not true!! I'm being told by docs another 5-10 yrs which is what we are hoping for or even more.
Thank you for any info. I'm a loving petrified only child (daughter)
