Vikas Mahajan is a heart transplant recipient who was fortunate enough to have the benefit of modern medicine to enable him to wait for 3 years for a transplant. Born with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, he has had to endure the implantation of pacemakers, implantable cardioverter defibrillators or ICDs and a left-ventricular assist device (also known as an LVAD). His ultimate surgery, cardiac transplantation, has resulted in a much-improved quality of life.
Vikas shares his medical history with us, how he came to need an LVAD and in the last segment he tells us about receiving the Gift of Life and offers some advice for others who might be walking the same path he did.
