Abstract

Studies showed that a totally implantable nuclear-powered artificial heart is practicable, and consequently a prototype system development program was initiated in July 1973. Basic testing of the prototype should be completed in 1977, with extensive studies to qualify the device for clinical use running at least into the early 1980s.
