Background:

  • Significant research on heart disease etiology and atherosclerosis has been conducted.
  • End-stage heart disease remains a critical challenge, necessitating advanced treatment options.
  • The National Heart Advisory Council recommended dedicated research into artificial hearts in 1964.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the evolution and goals of the Artificial Heart Program.
  • To detail research efforts on left ventricular assist systems (LVAS) and total artificial hearts (TAH).
  • To define device requirements, including blood pumps, energy converters, control systems, and energy transmission.

Main Methods:

  • Review of the historical development and objectives of the NHLBI Artificial Heart Program.

Related Experiment Videos
