When Jeff Russ of
Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, felt winded, he thought it was a cold or maybe
COVID-19. Within a month, he was diagnosed with heart failure.
He was so sick that he could've used a new heart. However, he was
ineligible for a transplant because of certain antibodies in his blood.
Instead, doctors implanted a left ventricular assist device. LVADs can
sometimes be used as a short-term "bridge to transplant," and
sometimes people keep them for years.
Read Jeff’s story.
