There's no reason to doubt this. Also, you might want to know how much this device costs before getting too excited. Replacing someone's heart with a Berlin heart can cost more than a hundred thousand dollars.

I wonder how efficient this really is. The claims of livestock going on about they day in a regular fashion sounds promising, but could this really be a break through in medicine? Can people go through life walking around with these devices in them? literally living amongst people without a pulse is going to take some getting use to.

He is probably unable to exercise regularly because it would endanger the integrity of the device. On the other hand, he is alive and aiding medical researchers develop improve artificial heart technology by acting as a live test subject. He might understand those pros and cons.

They've been working on artificial hearts since the 60s I think? When you have a heart transplant it isn't an artificial heart but just a machine that bypasses your heart and lungs. But nonetheless there have been many different types of methods used for someone to be alive without a heart pumping. Most people get something that becomes the primary function of the heart but uses the real heart as a backup until a transplant or such can be found. Fully mechanical hearts are just like real hearts in function and they have gotten to the point where yes, you can have one and function normally.

Running a marathon isn't normally functioning and like any damaged heart patients you would need to deal within your weight class. But remember most humans who've have their actual hearts removed and replaced with mechanical had no other options whatsoever. They are the human trials. To be honest the heart is just one big muscle. That makes it a bit easier.

I wonder if he was a smoker. He looks WAY old for his age AND he is on a ventillator....

Anyways, this is a cool accomplishment right here. I bet anytime he checks into a hospital/nursing home he is going to freak people out when they go to take his vitals! :lol:

I remember having people at my nursing home who had devices in them where I could feel a buzzing when trying to take their pulse. Twas very strange.
