  • The First Total Artificial Heart
    The First Total Artificial Heart On the night of December 1-2, 1982, with a major winter storm howling outside, medical history was being made inside the University of Utah Hospital. This event was the implantation of the first destination total artificial heart (TAH) in a human being. That person, 61-year-old Barney Clark, was a retired Seattle dentist with family roots in Utah. Dr. Clark’s several year history of dyspnea and fatigability had been attributed to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in a University of Utah Hospital former smoker. However, 2 1/2 years before admission, a diagnosis of heart failure was made associated with atrial fibrillation with a rapid ventricular response. In-patient treatment for recurrent heart failure with paroxysmal ventricular tachycardia (VT) was required 1 ½ years before admission. Coronary angiography and left ventriculography established a diagnosis of advanced, non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy with an ejection fraction of 23%. Because of symptomatic progression of heart failure, Dr. Clark was referred to the author at LDS Hospital in Salt Lake City, near family members, for investigational inotrope therapy (amrinone), but this caused hypotension and exacerbated atrial and ventricular tachyarrhythmias. Endomyocardial biopsy showed low-grade cellular and humoral myocarditis, and a course of immunosuppressant therapy (prednisone and azathioprine) was begun with initial improvement. However, clinical deterioration resumed, with low- output failure and edema, 6 ½ months later, leading to hospitalization for IV diuretics and dobutamine. Clinical improvement was only marginal, leaving him in class IV heart failure. Jeffrey L.

  • Johns Hopkins, Building a Better Heart
    In 1982 William DeVries, a cardiac surgeon at the University of Utah Hospital, successfully implanted an artificial heart in a patient who was suffering from end-stage heart failure. The recipient lived for 112 days with the device, designed by Robert Jarvik. Thirty years later, we've cloned sheep, developed the Internet, mapped the human genome, and progressed from LPs to CDs to MP3s, but we still haven't created an artificial heart that can sustain life for longer than a few months. "If you think about technologies in general and how they've advanced in the past three decades, I don't think you'd say that artificial heart technology has progressed at a pace that's appropriate for the amount of time that has passed," says T.E. "Ed" Schlesinger, dean of Johns Hopkins' Whiting School of Engineering. So what's the holdup? The challenges of creating an artificial heart that can "beat" an average of 35 million times a year for multiple years like a real heart are myriad. There are problems to solve regarding biocompatibility, power supply, blood flow, pumping systems, control mechanisms. Should the heart be fabricated from synthetic materials, muscle tissue grown from stem cells, or a combination of both? Does it have to pump like a real heart, or should it rely on a system of continuous flow, as current heart-assist devices do? Last winter, more than 160 people from the Johns Hopkins community and beyond attended the first Hopkins Heart Symposium. The purpose was to kick off a 10-year, $100 million-plus collaboration between doctors, engineers, and systems experts at Johns Hopkins to build the world's first permanent totally artificial heart.

Fueled by pre-war immigration from Europe and then the Great Migration north by African-Americans, Cleveland in 1910 was the sixth largest city in the United States. The city’s cultural life was also growing with the opening of the Cleveland Museum of Art in 1916 and the formation of the Cleveland Orchestra in 1918.

The doctor wanted to use experimental hormone treatment, but the patient refused. Katz argues that what made conversation impossible between them was the patient's undisclosed intention of leaving the hospital to treat himself with "a secret medicine, a mandrake root from Issyk Kul." He could not trust the doctor with this information because the doctor would make the decision for the patient in any event, because the doctor believed, "doctors are entitled to that right ..
