Wikipedia definition
2. Artificial heartAn artificial heart is a device that replaces the heart. Artificial hearts are typically used to bridge the time to heart transplantation, or to permanently replace the heart in case heart transplantation is impossible. Although other similar inventions preceded it going back to the late 1940's, the first artificial heart to be successfully implanted in a human, was the Jarvik-7, designed by Paul Winchell and also attributed to Robert Jarvik and implemented in 1982.
