1984
Raymond, Janice | DeVries, William C. | Joyce, Lyle D.
Extract: On December 2, 1982, Dr. Barney Clark became the first recipient of a permanent Total Artificial Hart. He had been suffering from terminal congestive heart failure, and no other treatment was available, since, at the age of 61, he was considered too old for a heart transplant. Dr. Clark's hospitalization was complicated by numerous events which confounded attempts at nutritional support. The protocol for future artificial heart patients has been amended to include detailed nutrition monitoring. (Author)
