Because the functions are the same!

An artificial heart does the same thing as a heart in the body, and the artificial heart does not break.

Artificial heart:

Artificial heart: refers to the use of biomechanical means to partially or completely replace the pumping function of the heart to maintain blood circulation throughout the body.

In 1957, the United States implanted an artificial heart in the human body. The heart survived in the human body for one and a half hours. This was the beginning of world-wide artificial heart research. Since then, various studies have continued.

In 1958, the former Federal Republic of Germany and Japan set up special institutions to study it.

In 1997, Japanese research institutions set a world record by using sheep as experimental subjects, surviving for 864 days relying on artificial hearts!

Artificial hearts can be divided into different types, but generally speaking, they are anatomically or biologically used to replace some artificial organs that have lost heart function due to certain serious diseases. As an alternative to heart transplantation, it can effectively treat heart failure. During the working process, it can stimulate the heart with a certain form of artificial pulse current like a water pump.

In this way, the heart can produce rhythmic contractions, and the blood pumped out can be used to supply the needs of the human body. As a very challenging technology, the implementation of artificial heart is a reflection of the improvement of the country's medical technology level. Industrialized artificial hearts are extremely expensive, costing US$100,000 per set. However, the artificial heart can only simulate part of the physiological functions of the heart and cannot completely replace the real heart. After hundreds of millions of years of evolution, human body functions and organs are the most adapted to the environment. If we want to make a tissue as precise as a natural heart It is extremely difficult to construct an artificial heart that fully simulates its structure and function. It requires the comprehensive application of medicine, biophysics, engineering, electronics and other disciplines and a long period of research.
