First 'heartless' man
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...=feeds-newsxml
Meet the world's first HEARTLESS man who is able to live without a pulse
Dr Billy Cohn and Dr Bud Frazier from the Texas Heart Institute installed first 'continuous flow' device last March
Patient Craig Lewis, 55, no longer has a pulse
Device first tested in calves
Surprised this wasn't in the news more. Only 5 news articles turned up on Google. Discuss.

That is awesome.
The vid didn't mention what powers the unit ^
Just mentioned it was a 'turbine'
Turbo heart..

Thats insane, but i don't understand how they expect to monitor someone if they don't have a pulse?. According to the video all our technology to monitor that would be rendered useless no?
Overall thats a big step forward for sure.

Well I'm guessing they plug in the obd2 reader, and check the numbers lol... but blood pressure would be the real indicator wouldn't it?
They've been talking artificial heart for decades, kinda cool that someone delivered...
Registered User
That's pretty sweet. Wouldn't that totally boost up your cardio? Not having to wait for your inferior piece of technology (ie heart)
And if you wanted to work out, you could like, overclock your pump for those 100 meter dashes???
Only half joking here people.

Jesus man, I know you like Transformers, but you need to get out more. No one should get this upset over a movie based on children's toys.

exactly! Does the turbo heart spool up when you put more load on the body?

I was scrolling through the responses and getting all inspired by how cool that was, and then I read coupesx's post. C-c-c-combo breaker of sadness.

Not really seeing why its different from any other artificial heart, except that is is continuous flow.
