What are the advantages of an artificial heart?

Answer 1

There are plenty of them available, and they can be built to fit the patient, unlike waiting for a donated organ. Also, the patient is more likely to know what day they're having surgery on with an artificial heart, rather than waiting for a call saying there is an organ available.

Answer 2

A motor compresses the left chamber to pump oxygenated blood in to the body. At the same time, the right chamber opens to fill with deoxygenated blood. Then the right chamber is compressed to pump deoxygenated blood to the lungs and the left chamber opens to collect oxygenated blood from the lungs. special sensors detect the body's movements and change the pace of the beat.

Answer 3

The disadvantages of artificial hearts are:

• You will have to recharge the battery every 10 hours otherwise the heart will stop.
• It might be a bit uncomfortable

Answer 4

An artificial heart is a device implanted into the chest in place of a natural heart. Artificial hearts are utilized when transplantation of a natural heart is not possible. Artificial hearts are used to sustain life between failure of a patient's heart and the time when a donor heart becomes available.

The first artificial heart was the Jarvick 7, designed by Dr. Robert Jarvik in 1982. Artificial hearts should not be confused with cardiopulmonary bypass machines, or heart-lung machines. Cardiopulmonary bypass machines are used for only short periods during surgery.
