American universities develop new artificial hearts that are expected to achieve permanent repair

Recently, an artificial heart was developed by the Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU), which is expected to achieve permanent repair.

The artificial heart was invented by Dr. Richard Wampler, a retired professor at the Oregon Health and Science University in the United States. Unlike other artificial hearts, the device has only one moving part and no valves that can get stuck. This is to minimize the mechanical The possibility of failure.

The movable part is a titanium alloy coated hollow rod that shuttles back and forth within the titanium tube and is suspended in a tube on the hydrodynamic bearing. The device has the same purpose as the two lower chambers of the heart, first delivering blood to the lungs and then delivering the blood throughout the body.
