Artificial Heart

This channel includes news and new technology innovations for total artificial hearts (TAH). These technologies are used in cardiovascular surgery to temporarily or permanently replace the heart in advanced heart failure patients.

This model heart ventricle, made with real living heart cells, beats strongly enough to pump fluid inside a tube. It can be used to study heart disease and test out potential therapies, without the need for invasive surgery.
