Brenda Locke, age 47
(Thoratec IVAD patient, transplanted)
“I survived six months with the device while I waited for my transplant. After I got the device, there were a number of things I could do that I never dreamt of, like getting on a treadmill. I was able to enjoy my life even while waiting for the transplant.”
