心脏的新希望（The new hope of the heart） The device in Keowns chest is connected by a short tube to the left ventricle of the heart. When sufficient blood flows through the short tube into the pump of the pump, the sensor starts the motor and pushes a piston like disk into the aorta connecting the heart. When Keown returned home from the hospital in June, hung a holster under his clothes, containing a rechargeable battery with a weight of 1.5 pounds and an electric pump operated for 8 hours. The battery is connected to a wire hanging from the incision in the abdomen. When Keown was wearing the device, the only thing he could feel was the tiny noise made by the tiny motor. Sometimes I play a joke on medical academic meetings, Dr. Ozzy said. I left the pacemaker man sitting among the audience. No one found him wearing anything until I told him to stand up. Like most magic tricks, Dr. Ozzys jokes were bought with lots of sweat and hard work. No one will than mechanical engineer, 54 year old Thermo company general manager Victor 8226; Lille is more aware of the cost of boyd. He led the development work, for 30 years, most understand that the pain of humiliation: when we started in 1965, our blood clots and infection at a loss what to do. The heart was just a pump. We are engineers and know how to make pumps. Boyd Lille and his team tested 20 years in the laboratory, began to take the device they made the transplantation into the human body. They will have to undergo 10 years of clinical trials before long-term use by the Federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA). They worked over and over again, and even eliminated a major part that took ten years to work out. After numerous animal experiments, the first patients who had been implanted with the prototype died on the operating table, and they were depressed because the operation could only be carried out in critically ill patients. But they eventually proved that they had a design that mimicked 3 billion years of biological ev
