The Jarvik 7 is an artificial heart designed to replace a patient's failing heart temporarily. It was named after Dr. Robert Jarvik, the scientist who played a pivotal role in its development. The Jarvik 7 became famous in 1982 when it was implanted in Barney Clark, making him the first human to live with a permanent artificial heart. The Jarvik 7 is powered by an external pneumatic pump connected to the patient's body by tubes.
The Jarvik 7 was designed as a bridge to a heart transplant or to support the heart temporarily in patients who were critically ill.
Although it was a significant breakthrough in medical technology, it had limitations due to its reliance on external power, requiring patients to stay connected to machines.
