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.
The heart pumps blood in a two-step process. The atria pump blood into the ventricles and then the ventricles pump blood out of the heart. Chambers of the heart fill with blood during a relaxation phase (diastole) and eject blood during a contraction phase (systole). Atrial systole precedes ventricular systole.
