A new electronic pump could let people with heart failure live a normal life and prevent them being bedridden, waiting for transplants.
This particular device is being developed in the United Kingdom and currently reguires that some additional refinements be made. Only once the final version of this device has been finally emgineered will it be judged safe for the device to be trialled in selected patients.
Evolving technology is leading to an ongoing refinement in the various forms of cardiac 'assist' devices that can be implanted into patients. In some cases use of such a device will be for the aim of bridging patients to a heart transplant.
