A 15 year old boy living in Italy has just became the first living person to have a permanent artificial heart, due to the Duchenne syndrome which was wasting his muscles away.
Doctors in Rome inserted the 4cm long electrically-activated hydraulic pump heart in his left ventricle because of syndrome he wasn't able to get heart transplant. Also a battery is attached with his belt to keep giving power to his heart. Now most hopefully he will live more 20-25 years, May be long if Allah wants that so.
First ever artificial heart was transplanted in 1969 with weight of 90g for man's heart for 64 hours, featured in photo.
