Also known as heart pump. A ventricular assist device (VAD) is a mechanical pump that supports heart function and blood flow in people who have weakened hearts. These devices can support the function of the left, right, or both heart ventricles. Ventricles are the lower chambers of your heart.
This is the side that pumps blood to the body. The heart's lower chamber, called the left ventricle, cannot pump blood as well. It's called systolic because your ventricle doesn't squeeze forcefully enough during systole, which is the phase of your heartbeat when your heart pumps blood.
