Heartening news: Device made in India to help transplant patients

India plans to develop cost-effective left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) to aid end-stage heart failure patients while they wait for donor hearts. With an estimated 50,000 patients needing heart transplants annually but a severe shortage of donor hearts, indigenously made LVADs could reduce costs and increase foreign medical visitors. Development could take over five years with necessary approvals.
