Shandong's first artificial heart implantation patient was discharged, China's current medical level? Here we come to this issue for some discussion, I hope these contents can help friends in need.
After a period of diagnosis and rehabilitation, the first case of artificial heart embedded patients in Shandong Province successfully recovered in Qingdao University Hospital. However, unlike others, the patient Mr. Sun's "cardiovascular" must be battery-charged every day. More than twenty days ago, Mr. Sun due to end-stage chronic heart failure, in the hospital successfully transplanted a domestic "third-generation all-magnetic suspension artificial heart", the repair condition is excellent, but since then Mr. Sun at any time and any place need to bring a small gray and black satchel, this external device according to a through the abdominal cavity, subcutaneous tissue tunnels through the construction of a thin cable with the "artificial heart". The "artificial heart" is interconnected, the device contains a switching power supply, rechargeable lithium batteries and a monitor, giving the "artificial heart" electrical engineering support point.
Critically ill chronic heart failure has been called "the cancer of heart disease," and the only reasonable way to save lives is with a heart transplant. But because of the extremely limited number of cardiovascular donors, heart transplants cannot be turned into a treatment that benefits everyone. It's precisely because of that hard need that experts have been working diligently to develop "artificial hearts" over the past few decades.
According to the CCTV financial report on March 17, 2021, a company in Suzhou, more than 10 years of hard work, independent research and development of the world's smallest third-generation all-magnetic suspension of the artificial heart, the artificial heart of the net weight of less than 180 grams, the size of a ping-pong match similar to the net weight of a cell phone on the very same, the "Iron Pimple" The medical profession affectionately called "Chinese heart".
This artificial heart is equivalent to a small high-powered blood pump, installed in the side of the damaged cardiovascular, according to the production of a new bypass, so that the blood night to avoid damage to the cardiovascular, thereby replacing the human heart's "pump" role. Artificial heart is the most complicated, the highest precision medical equipment, with "medical equipment on the crown of the crystal". Each time it is surpassed, it is a larger scientific innovation.
Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Fu Wai Hospital doctor Hu Shengshou accepted the interview, chronic heart failure is the main manifestation of the end of heart disease, can not be reversed according to the drug. There are about 15 million heart failure patients in China, and there are 1.3 million to 1.5 million end-stage heart failure patients.
Although heart transplantation can save such patients, there are only a few hundred cardiovascular donors available for transplantation each year in China, which is equivalent to a drop in the bucket when compared to the more than one million critically ill heart failure patients. The fully magnetically suspended artificial heart not only fills the gap in China's artificial heart industry, but also creates the expectation of vitality for more terminal chronic heart failure patients.
