“…Future work might focus on reducing blood clot risk and improving impeller designs where blood can flow effectively without further consequences. Latest technology is still working on adjusting pump flow and using AI for real-time optimization (Tu et al, 2024). This research noted viable evolution in durable ventricular assist device (dVAD) use with a surge in implantations coinciding with severe HF patient profiles, favoring destination therapy over bridge to transplant which has become possible with invent of dVAD technology (Tu et al, 2024).…”

The ventricular assist device has become a reliable and enduring therapy for patients with end-stage heart failure, with over 22,000 implantations to date. Initially designed as a bridge-to-transplant option but now it has become permanent cure for patients with acute heart failure. VAD has significant advancements in medical management and technology, particularly with the introduction of newer-generation devices, have greatly enhanced patient outcomes. This progress has led to an increasing use of ventricular assist devices as a destination therapy. Nonetheless, the substantial burden of adverse events remains a critical challenge in the current state of ventricular assist device therapy, despite this, its viable alternative of heart transplantation as it has solved the complications of donor heart and proved significant success among patient with acute heart failure.

Background: Heart failure (HF) is a significant global clinical and public health challenge, impacting 64.3 million individuals worldwide. To address the scarcity of donor organs, left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation has become a crucial intervention for managing end-stage HF, serving as a bridge to heart transplantation or as destination therapy. Online health forums, such as MyLVAD.com, play a vital role as trusted sources of information for individuals with HF symptoms and their caregivers. Objective:The main objective of this study was to uncover the latent topics within the posts shared by users on the MyLVAD.com website. Methods:Employing the Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) algorithm and a visualization tool, our objective was to uncover latent topics within the posts shared on the MyLVAD.com website. Through the application of topic modeling techniques, we analyzed 459 posts authored by LVAD recipients and their family members from 2015 to 2023. Results:The study unveiled five prominent themes of concern among LVAD patients and their family members. These themes include family support (39.5% weight value), encompassing subthemes like family caregiving roles and emotional/ practical support; clothing (23.9% weight value), with subthemes related to comfort, normalcy, and functionality; infection (18.2% weight value), covering driveline infections, prevention, and care; power (12.0% weight value), involving challenges associated with power dependency; and self-care maintenance, monitoring, and management (6.3% weight value), which includes subthemes like blood tests, monitoring, alarms, and device management.Conclusions: These findings contribute to a better understanding of the experiences and needs of patients implanted with LVAD, providing valuable insights for healthcare professionals to offer tailored support and care. By utilizing LDA to analyze posts from the MyLVAD.com forum, this study sheds light on key topics discussed by users, facilitating improved patient care and enhanced patient-provider communication.
