ABSTRACT:
A total artifical heart prosthesis having a body defining a right ventricle chamber and a left ventricle chamber each provided with an inlet valve and outlet valve, as well as with a flexible membrane dividing each ventricle chamber into a blood-receiving compartment or ventricle proper, and a cardiac function control compartment, in which artificial heart said membranes are urged by a ferromagnetic fluid. Arranged to cooperate with the membranes are electric windings which create magnetic fields producing a sought displacement of the membrane-urging ferromagnetic fluid, i.e. of the membranes themselves. A means is provided for driving the membranes as desired and for powering the electric windings in order to generate the magnetic field.
