Bangalore, India -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/05/2018 -- SynCardia's CardioWest™ was the world's first FDA-approved total artificial heart. It received FDA approval in October 2004 following a ten-year pivotal clinical study. The CardioWest™ was originally designed as a permanent replacement heart, but was approved as a bridge-to-transplant device for patients dying due to irreversible end-stage biventricular failure in which both the left and right ventricles of their hearts are failing.

SynCardia's CardioWest™ is now marketed as the SynCardia Total Artificial Heart™. As of 2017, SynCardia's Total Artificial Heart™ has been implanted in over 1,700 cases worldwide, with over 500 implants in the United States. It is estimated to have accounted for more than 600 patient years of extended life on the device.

Artificial heart devices can be temporary or permanent mechanical devices that are designed to replace the function of a biological heart. The term "artificial heart" should not be used for describing ventricular assist devices (VADs). VADs are pumps that assist the heart but are not designed to replace it.

Instead, they are used in collaboration with a patient's heart. An artificial heart is also distinct from a cardiopulmonary bypass machine (CPB), which is an external device used for providing the functions of both the heart and lungs. CPBs are only used for a few hours at a time, most commonly during heart surgery. Artificial hearts were originally intended to be a permanent replacement for the biological human heart.
