  • 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. Anderson, MD: Barney Clark’s Cardiologist An opportune meeting occurred 3-4 months prior to the final admission between the author and Dr.

Pershing ne hundred years ago, John A. Widtsoe, president of the University of Utah, declared that he hoped to see “this institution enter into the very life of our state; to help solve its problems, to Opoint its way, to help bear its burdens as well as to share in its prosperity…” It was understood then, as it is today, the responsibility of the flagship institution extends beyond its classrooms and laboratories. The University of Utah has become a world-class research and teaching institution, an engine of economic prosperity, and a provider of nationally recognized medical care. The U plays an integral role within the state, as was hoped, but the university’s positive influence now has a global impact. The success of the University of Utah is reliant on the responsible stewardship of intellectual, physical, and financial resources. We gratefully acknowledge critical contributions made by the residents and elected leaders of this state, as well as the Utah State Board of Regents and our Board of Trustees. The U excels because of their support.

  • The University of Utah Campus Master Plan
    THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH CAMPUS MASTER PLAN 3. Discovery CHAPTER 3: DISCOVERY & ANALYSIS Introduction During the Discovery and Analysis phase of this pro- cess the University’s current physical campus structure, buildings, infrastructure systems, transportation and transit use, housing needs and academic space assess- ment were examined. It was the goal of this phase of the work to gain as much understanding regarding the campus’ existing conditions and operations as possible in order to glean the major planning issues that needed to be addressed in a comprehensive campus master plan. The documentation of the analysis phase of discovery is presented in one of three sections of this overall document. The analysis that can simply be reported and those recommendations that can be outlined in a summary fashion for further implementation strategies that will be discussed later in the book. The analysis is presented in this chapter. When the analysis and information gathering defines a very specific problem or issue that has been addressed by the Plan, this document presents that analysis and observational material in the “Plan Elements” or “Transformative Projects” chapters. This chapter orga- nization allows these issues and recommendation to be more closely tied. This decision also serves to minimize redundant information, which in a campus planning project of this size and complexity, would only serve to frustrate the reader. 3 – 2 THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH CAMPUS MASTER PLAN The University of Utah 2008 (view east) 3 – 3 CHAPTER 3: DISCOVERY & ANALYSIS Campus Setting Wasatch Mountain Range Regional Context The product of 20 million years of The 1500-acre University of Utah campus is dramatical- The eastern and northern portions of the City are locat- geologic faulting, volcanic activity, and ly located at the foothills of a mountain valley with the ed on a series of terraces, or former beaches, which are glaciation, the Wasatch Mountains, the Wasatch Mountains to the east and north.
