The first artificial heart made from titanium has been created and will help those with heart disease. The device is as small as a human fist and works like the human heart when placed inside the body. Bivacor, the name given to the artificial heart has the ability to pump blood that corresponds to the way the left and right atria pump blood throughout the human body.
It has taken 7 years to design the artificial heart, but it is worth it as it will save a number of lives and also reduces the risk of infection. The artificial heart costs around $60 000.
