Is an LVAD a defibrillator?

Abstract. Patients with left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are at high risk of sustained ventricular arrhythmias, but these may be remarkably well tolerated and the association with sudden death is unclear. Many patients who receive an LVAD already have an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD).

How do you assess whether the LVAD is functioning?

If no alarm is sounding, LVAD failure is still a possibility (due to alarm battery depletion or alarm failure), so a stethoscope should be placed over the apex of the heart to listen for a humming sound. Absence of a humming sound indicates that the LVAD is not working.
