Overview
The heart is one of the most unique organs in our body. It is responsible for providing a method of locomotion for the delivery of nutrients, oxygen and other important substances in our body. Heart failure affects a large portion of the population. Worldwide approximately five million people suffer from this ailment and 300,000 people die from it every year. Although there are treatments for many varieties of heart disease, there are individuals whose disease continues to get worse, and the only treatment for some forms of heart disease is heart transplant. Scientists have developed artificial hearts because donor hearts were not available. They proved that it was possible to develop a device that could carry on the functions of this organ. But there are three major problems: size of the artificial organ, noise level of the device, and the power supply for the device.
