Pregnant with twins, Nariscia Goins developed pregnancy- induced cardiomyopathy, or weakening of the heart muscle. While her daughters were born healthy, soon after delivery Nariscia needed a left ventricular assist device, or LVAD, to keep her heart pumping. It’s certainly a challenge to raise twins, but the mechanical assist device keeps Nariscia’s heart going to give her the strength to parent her girls.
