The beat goes on: Artificial heart technology holds promise for alternatives
Thu, 09 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0400
(University of Houston) There soon may be more options for those needing a heart transplant thanks to a new device being developed by the Texas Heart Institute and University of Houston that emulates how the natural heart responds to physiological conditions within the body. Existing devices mimic the pulsating pump action of the natural heart. This proposed total artificial heart replaces the pulsatile feature with two pulseless continuous flow pumps, each about the size of a C battery.
