ohh , and they didn't do the VAD . due to lots of infections spreading and he's in a state of a very high fever . nevertheless , he had seizures also :S
it was mainly for making it as a bridge while waiting for the heart transplant . but right now , they're just going to hold onto that biventricular pacing .
a person with such , would not even live long after heart transplant ?
the cause of the heart failure .. he had the heart disease for 6 years . but he hid it until now , he's in CCU . he's also a smoker . but he quited a few months ago . now , he's not responding well and the doctors said , put him at rest . his heart shape is so irregular , the doctors were impressed he could make it this far . can he ever pull through ? :S
now his BP is also very low . his heart stop beating sometimes :/
What was the cause for the heart failure?
The ventricle assist device, is it to assist until a donor is available, or is it hoped it may assist with some recovery, enough to keep the existing heart?
