Meet the worlds first heartless human (literally) able to live without a pulse!!

Ever wondered someone dying from heart problem and all at sudden doctors hit up with a strange experimental idea and replace the heart with a pump to save that person. In March 2011, Craig Lewis, a 55-year-old man suffering from a life threatening heart problem, was admitted to the Texas Heart Institute with a condition called amyloidosis. Its a rare autoimmune disease that fills internal organs with a viscous build-ups of abnormal protein that causes rapid heart, kidney, and liver failure. Without immediate intervention, Lewis would likely have died within days. Fortunately, two speciaists from the institute proposed a revolutionary new solution install a continuous flow device that would allow blood to circulate his body without a pulse, by not only helping the left ventricle push oxygenated blood to the body, but pushing the blood hard enough to flow through the body. Dr. Billy Cohn and Dr. Bud Frazier removed Mr Lewis heart and then installed the device, and their patient was up, well, and speaking with physicians the very same day. Dr. Cohn is a veteran surgeon, an inventor and researcher who has spent much of his life developing technologies to replace or repair the human heart, the most notable being the Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD). Cohn teamed up with Dr. Frazier to develop a new invention that uses the technology from LVADs to replicate the functions of the hearts right and left ventricles. They tested their device on 70 calves, all of whom had no heartbeat heard by a stethoscope and produced a flat line on an EKG no heart rate or pulse yet they were otherwise perfectly normal, eating food and interacting with each other as they usually would. As mentioned above, Lewis was the first human to receive this technology. The procedure took less than 48 hours and was a great success. However, his kidneys and liver were not so lucky. They were failing him, and after a few months his family asked the doctors to unplug the device.
