Background: Besides survival, improvement in quality of life (QoL) is a major aim of left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation. QoL assessment tools in current use are effective in the gathering of standardized metrics but are limited in their ability to elucidate everyday lived patient experiences that also affect overall patient wellbeing.
Objective: To describe and understand the lived experiences of patients undergoing long-term circulatory support with LVAD.
