A team of French doctors has recently succeeded in implanting a carmat artificial heart in a human body. It may come as a bit of a surprise to hear that this artificial ‘bionic’ heart is partly made by mechanical parts and the rest of the animal tissue used instead of synthetics is taken from the cow’s heart muscle. This is the first artificial heart designed for long-term use in the human body. Carmat Company In the laboratory This improved device can be used for up to five years.The operation was performed at the Georges Pompeidu European Hospital in France. Carmat Said, The surgery is well conducted and it is also giving the expected results in terms of blood circulation. The patient in Paris is awake and able to speak. He has been kept under close supervision.
The medical implants or devices that are commonly used to keep the diseased heart functioning are usually short-lived. But Carmat’s bioprosthetic heart will behave much like a natural heart muscle and last a long time.
Of course, Carmat Heart also has some limitations. It weighs about 900 grams, which is about three times the mass of a normally healthy heart made of flesh and blood! Also, installing the device will cost the client more than লাখ 200,000. However, its limitations are expected to decrease over time.
