This guy I knew had an artificial heart, they don’t last long, his lasted 4 years. The day he had to shut off his heart a few months ago was an experience I still have trouble processing how it must’ve felt. Knowing and counting down your exact day and time is unimaginable. A week prior he said that every second that passes is and impossible amount of worth and every word with a loved one is constantly appreciated and replayed. I learned we take our time for granted, spend too much complaining about things that don’t matter and spend too much time angry. It’s too valuable so appreciate and celebrate everyone in your life every chance you get cause that’s all that will matter to you. Death is coming, it’s just about when, be loved and remembered when you go.

[@speedslayerr]

Wow so he was forced to shut it down and just die?

This shows how stunning our heart is, one of the most amazing things in our body, working for years for us.

[@theskeletonboi]

This is less due to the design, and more due to the fact that all organs regenerate and heal. Unfortunately, nanomachines that regenerate aren't the solution either. The real solution is based on two concepts of regeneration. One of them is with T-Cell research enabling our bodies to have either a heart grown inside or outside the body for replacing. Otherwise, it's to have a ghost heart 3D printed in such a way that it acts as a map for our real cells to take over and heal it to the point where it has become our heart and the original material dissolves into our body. There is a third option as well, and that is to modify or cause a reaction in our epigenetics that cause our cells to permanently be in a state of repair. This can be accomplished in a few ways. One of these ways is to increase our talomere length, which is associated with longer telomeres and therefore increased cellular lifespan and regenerative ability. Another way is to manipulate specific genes that regulate the regenerative processes in our bodies. I'll stop typing now, I apologize.

[@UnacceptableViews]

certainly would be interesting

[@sylviarohge4204]

The aorta already serves to dampen the pulsation and convert the blood flow more in the direction of a continuous flow. The reason we have a pulse is that biology cannot produce freely spinning constructs. A continuous blood flow would probably even be an advantage since the pressure surges that are "stressful" for blood vessels are eliminated.

[@asknor]

My childhood friend had to have a titanium heart pump (Ventrassist) operated in (around 2007), because of a virus on the heart, as one of the first in Europe. She had a tube coming out of the stomach, that went into a backpack with batteries. The batteries had to be changed regurarly, and because of the risk, she could never be alone in case something happened. One interesting thing about that, is that she didn’t actually have a pulse, just «humming» from the titanium heart. Luckily her own heart healed to the degree that she could take the titanium heart out after some time. It was/is a very rare thing that anyone could remove it and not actually go through a heart transplant.

[@chris746568462]

On the screen it says ~12W of power for that centrifugal one. Which imo is the best one for reliability. 24h @ 12W would require a ~300 Watthour battery. Even a very large cordless tool battery like the 12Ah dewalt flexvolt is about 200Wh. You would probably want to hot swap them too. Maybe 2-3 batteries in a backpack at all times. That's about 3-5kg of battery. Noticeable but manageable.

On one hand I'm looking at this and in awe of how amazing people are to be able to come up with this kind of technology....and on the other hand I'm looking at a guy from Texas, who's probably eating fatty meat three times a day, try to take arms against a condition with a mechanical heart that is frankly preventable in the majority of cases by eating a whole food plant based diet rich in fibre and fruits and vegetables and getting a moderate amount of exercise. So it's difficult to know if this reality that we're living in is amazing or absurd. It's a wonderful thing to have this and especially in cases of genetic heart conditions and injuries but if it's just going to be a lifestyle enabler than McDonalds may as well just start sponsoring it now.

[@WilliamWBG]

Carnivore diet has been shown to reduce cardiovascular disease. A strict plant based diet often causes malnutrition without consumption of fake protein supplements. The Head Thoracic Surgeon at UAB hospital eats 90% carnivore and 10% green leafy Veg. Todays genetically engineered fruits are extremely high in sugar content with just a small fraction of fiber. The exception being berries. For children under 18, a vegetarian diet is never recommended by any credible doctor. It can easily cause malnutrition with the possibility of life long implications. It’s extremely difficult to develop muscle growth as a vegetarian and that’s just one of many dangers.

@@WilliamWBG plant based proteins are not fake but unfortunately there's too much emotion around the topic of diet and it often results in people quitting a safer healthier diet and reverting to unhealthy foods because they feel like they're being judged by both sides. You get vegetarian extremists attacking people eating a balanced vegetarian diet because of stuff like having food come in contact with meat or counting honey as a negative or acting like if they ever eat out than they are "cheating" and this is where you get those dangerous situation of malnutrition, it's when people feel like they are not allowed to eat almost anything because of social stigma. There's also, unfortunately, a lot of doctors who are hired by the beef industry etc and paid a great deal to tell people that hamburgers lower heart disease but the reality is that the numbers of people losing the battle against heart problems are higher in areas where there's more consumption of meat and lower in areas with less or where the main source of meat is fish. The demand for this product per-capita will be astronomical in a place like Texas compared to a place like Jakarta.

One concern with the maglev impeller is how it would respond to a sudden change in velocity eg collision with a high speed object or sudden deceleration. If the impeller can retain position in such outlier events its a brilliant solution but if the disk impacts the casing of the artifical heart, you may have a problem.

i'm curious as to how a constant blood flow would effect the body. when resting, you might be circulating too much oxygen and get something called oxygen poisoning. yes, you can get poisoned from too much oxygen. but when exercising, for example running a marathon, would constant blood flow be preferable? that way your body would have a constant source of oxygen rather then getting only a few times a second. if it would indeed be better in that kind of situation, then the artificial heart would not only save lives, but it would also improve the capabilities of the human body.
