If you ever happen to hear something like this when you are passing by two old men, do not give them a hearty laugh. Its normal now. Carmat has come out with a concept device that could save millions suffering from heart attacks. Depending upon aerospace technology, they have been able to build an artificial heart which will be as efficient as your original one or so do they claim.

The device has been successfully tested on large mammals, and is awaiting permission to begin clinical human trials.

Reportedly, the device boasts “the same tiny sensors that measure air pressure and altitude in an airplane or satellite” enabling it to theoretically react in an instant if the patient suddenly needs more or less blood.

Its only $192,000.

Are you still there? Well, be reasonable. An artificial heart made from polymer and pig tissue won’t come cheap. So there are only two ways to go from here.

If you had a heart attack seeing the price, you need to get one soon. If you are reading this now, you are perfectly normal. Just think about the advancement of technology and stay healthy.

p.s. -> All  jokes aside, when 17 million people die of heart attacks every year worldwide, such inventions should be encouraged with a good heart. Salutes and Good luck.
