Definition An artificial heart is the long

term replacement of the Original heart, if the heart does not work properly. It is implanted in human body to replace the biological heart.

Also known as “ventricular assist devices (VADs) or TAH”

(Sep 29, 1903 – Feb 5, 1973)

AbioCorThe AbioCor is the artificial heart is

developed by Abiomed .The AbioCor heart, which is composed of titanium and plastic, connects to four locations:

Right atrium Left atrium Aorta Pulmonary artery

Jarvik 7 Robert Jarvik, MD is widely

known as the inventor of the first successful permanent artificial heart, the Jarvik 7.

In 1982, the first implantation of the Jarvik 7 in patient Barney Clark caught the attention of media around the world.

There are two reasons that we need TAH:

It stays you alive while you wait for transplant.

You may benefit from a total artificial heart (TAH) if both of your ventricles don't work due to end-stage heart failure.

The risks for surgery include:Bleeding Infection Heart attack Irregular heartbeatDiseases :Cancer, kidney failure,

Multi- organ failure etc.

If your both ventricles are not working.

If you're waiting for a heart transplant, a TAH can help you survive longer.

It also can improve your quality of life.

Maintain model of the pump and patient continuously evaluates the available estimates of variables .

The Machine Evaluate the status and history of Patient, validity of Information.

Supervisor of the Surgery uses optimization algorithm to determine the reference speed.

It also estimates the operating status of

artificial heart.

It is used to calculate total protein level of patient before, after and during the implantation of artificial heart. And also diagnose heart disease through Machine.

Changing the pumping speed of the heart to handle your changing activity levels

Heart disease has appeared as the main cause of death in Pakistani rural as well as in urban areas.

These devices are used in Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC) .

On October 27, 2008, French professor and leading heart transplant specialist Alain F. Carpentier announced that a fully implantable artificial heart will be ready for clinical trial by 2011 and for alternative transplant in 2013.
