Mechanical Heart

A mechanical heart is a device designed to replicate the function of a natural heart, helping to pump blood throughout the body. It is typically used in patients with severe heart failure as a temporary or permanent solution. Made from durable materials like titanium and specialized plastics, it operates using external power sources and controlled mechanisms to mimic heartbeat rhythms. Mechanical hearts can improve blood circulation, relieve symptoms, and provide time for the damaged heart to recover or serve as a bridge to a heart transplant. They are a significant technological achievement in managing advanced heart disease.
