Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) Implants at Wellstar
One night after going to bed, Pearlie Chavis couldn't breathe, prompting his fiancée to take him to the emergency room. There, he was diagnosed with heart failure. Thanks to Wellstar Advanced Heart Failure Cardiologist Dr. Brian Howard and their partnership over the next few months, Pearlie had a Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) implanted. This device helps people with the severest symptoms of heart failure by pumping oxygenated blood throughout the body. Watch his story and learn more about advanced heart failure treatments at Wellstar by visiting http://spr.ly/6188MBB3j or calling (470) 793-0200. #PeopleCare #HeartCare
