LVAD

Is a LVAD the same as a CRT-P or Biventricular Pacemaker.

I have been asked by the DVLA whether I have a LVAD ?
if so I have to wait for 6 months until I have my Driving Licence back:(

Mayo has a good explanation of what it is

CRT is at the bottom of this page

You know you're wired when...

You’re officially battery-operated.

It is just over 10 years since a dual lead device was implanted for complete heart block. It has worked perfectly and I have traveled well near two million miles internationally since then.
