Thoratec Corporation - Patients & Caregivers - Living with a VAD

Share Your Story

If you have a VAD, your story can mean the world to another patient who is facing the same decisions you did just a short time ago. For patients with advanced heart failure, nothing is as valuable as hearing from others who have been through similar experiences. Share your experiences with your advanced heart failure diagnosis, your decision to undergo VAD therapy, and your daily life with a VAD.
