We are excited to share our HeartMate 3™ ADULT Patient Education Handbook. Created in partnership with Abbott, this innovative and comprehensive guide will support our Adult community on their LVAD journey. This handbook not only provides essential education resources but also serves as a scrapbook to document key topics and milestones.
What you’ll find inside:
- Understanding VADs
- Surgical & hospital stay expectations
- Device education
- Self-care, including tips on medicines, nutrition, driveline care, etc.
- Potential challenges
- Daily life & safety, including advice on travel, exercise, intimacy, and other aspects of daily life with an LVAD
