Ticker: The Quest to Create an Artificial Heart, by Mimi Swartz

3.0

Interesting read about the competitive pursuit of the artificial heart. What was particularly noteworthy was that the early days of artificial hearts was the wild west. Doctors made their own decisions, often with patients and their families who were willing to go for broke. Nothing stood in their way. But along with the developments in the artificial heart came increased regulation, slowing down progress.
