May inform durable total artificial heart drives; leaves open in vivo validation before clinical consideration.
Linear motor concepts offer a potential durability- and wear-free drive mechanism for total artificial hearts, potentially enabling their use for destination therapy.
Finocchiaro et al. (2008) studied Heart failure (Total artificial heart requirement). Linear motor concepts for total artificial hearts was evaluated on Achievement of requirements provided by the natural heart. Two linear motor concepts for total artificial hearts achieved the requirements of the natural human heart following analytical optimization and finite-element calculations.
