ABSTRACT:
A blood pump is powered by an implantable motive power source. The blood pump has four actively pumping chambers, two of the chambers simulating ventricles and two of the chambers simulating atria, wherein the ventricular and atrial chambers are driven in a reciprocating manner by a pivoting wedge hinged to a septal wall partition separating the ventricular from the atrial chambers. The pivoting wedge is hydraulically powered through systole and diastole by means of hydraulic motors harnessed individually to respective skeletal muscles and responsive to the contraction of these muscles which are sequentially contracted by control stimulation means. The hydraulic pressure from the hydraulic motors is transmitted through hydraulic lines to the blood pump.
