artificial heart

An artificial heart is a device designed to replace or support a failing human heart. It functions as a pump to circulate blood throughout the body, ensuring vital organs receive oxygen and nutrients. Typically used temporarily during recovery or as a bridge to heart transplant, artificial hearts are made from durable materials and controlled by computers. They can be implanted surgically to restore blood flow when the natural heart can't perform adequately, improving a patient’s survival and quality of life until a donor heart becomes available or long-term solutions are found.
