Artificial heart research focuses on developing devices that can replace the function of the human heart in patients with end-stage heart failure. These devices are typically mechanical pumps that are implanted in the chest and connected to the natural heart to help pump blood throughout the body. The goal of artificial heart research is to provide a longer-term solution for patients awaiting heart transplants or who are not eligible for transplantation. The development of artificial hearts has the potential to significantly improve the quality of life and survival rates for patients with severe heart conditions.
