My life at 9200 rpm's: Congestive Heart failure LVAD therapies are available around the globe

As I was looking around the LVAD blog arena, I found a presentation from a Singapore hospital's account of congestive heart failure.  The narrative was on a fellow bloggers site but I felt no compunction in appropriating it for a wider readership.  

After all, the bigger the audience, the more the word will spread. Here's the link:  http://mountelizabeth.com.sg/en/Facilities-Services/Specialties-and-Specialised-Services/Heart-Failure-and-LVAD

I have been told that the folks at HeartWare cover more of the world outside the United States.  Their LVAD is smaller than my HeartMate II.  The associated gear is more compact and lighter to carry.

At any rate, the link above is for a hospital in Singapore, the former British possession at the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula. The point is that those who may benefit from mechanical circulatory support therapy can get it worldwide.

Read and spread the word.  There is help for those suffering CHF.  Drugs can help until the disease progresses too far. The recourse for those in end stage heart failure is either an LVAD or a heart transplant.  

But since the number of donor hearts is limited, the best hope is an LVAD.  Not everyone is an acceptable candidate for the device.  Pass the word that LVADs work.  I am symptom free and living life so I endorse the therapy unreservedly.
