Das LVAD Hemd

GerHeart is a patient-founded brand focused on making everyday life more comfortable for people living with a left ventricular assist device (LVAD). Created by an LVAD family, the brand combines personal experience with practical support for patients and those close to them. Its central product is the GerHeart LVAD shirt, developed by the founder and their father-in-law, who has used an Abbott HeartMate 3 since 2019. The shirt is designed to let wearers carry their LVAD controller and batteries securely against the body beneath their clothing.

GerHeart sells the shirt individually and in multi-piece sets, with options including white, black-and-white combinations, and mixed colours. Beyond its products, the brand offers guidance for living with an LVAD, including instructions for wearing and arranging equipment, answers to common questions, and information about the device. Its website also shares personal stories from LVAD wearers and provides access to a patient-support network. GerHeart’s aim is to help people manage everyday challenges and enjoy life with greater comfort and confidence.
