Artificial heart
An artificial heart is a device that replaces the heart . Artificial hearts are typically used to bridge the time to heart transplantation , or to permanently replace the heart in case heart transplantation is impossible. Although other similar inventions preceded it from the late 1940s, the first artificial heart to be successfully implanted in a human was the Jarvik-7 in 1982, designed by a team including Willem Johan Kolff and Robert Jarvik .

An artificial heart is a mechanical device that replaces the heart . Artificial hearts are typically used to bridge the time to heart transplantation , or to permanently replace the heart in case transplantation is impossible. Although other similar inventions preceded it going back to the late 1940's, some used successfully on dogs, the first artificial heart to be successfully implanted in a human, was the Jarvik-7, designed by Paul Winchell and also attributed to Robert Jarvik and implemented in 1982. The first two patients to receive these hearts, Barney Clark and William Schroeder, survived 112 and 620 days beyond their surgeries, respectively. [1] |

An artificial heart is a prosthetic device that is implanted into the body to replace the biological heart . It is distinct from a cardiopulmonary bypass machine (CPB), which is an external device used to provide the functions of both the heart and the lungs . The CPB oxygenates the blood, and therefore does not need to be connected to both blood circuits. Also, a CPB is suitable only for a few hours use, while artificial hearts have been used for periods longer than a year (as of 2007 [update] ). Barney Clark was the first to have the artificial heart. |

An artificial heart is a prosthetic device that is implanted into the body to replace the original biological heart . It is distinct from a cardiac pump , which is an external device used to provide the functions of both the heart and the lungs . Thus, the cardiac pump need not be connected to both blood circuits. Also, a cardiac pump is only suitable for use not longer than a few hours, while for the artificial heart the current record is 17 months. |

The artificial heart , a synthetic replacement for an organic mammalian heart (usually human), remains one of the long-sought Holy Grails of modern medicine. Although the heart is conceptually a simple organ (basically a muscle that functions as a pump), it embodies complex subtleties that defy straightforward emulation using synthetic materials and power supplies. The obvious benefit is to lower the demand for heart transplants, which (as it is for all organs) always greatly exceeds supply. |
