An artificial heart that can give patients up to 5 years of wxtra life has been successfully implanted for the first time at Georges Pompidou Hospital in France, The Daily Telegraph of London reported. The artificial heart weighs 0.9kg - almost 3 times an average healthy human heart. It mimics heart muscle contractions and contains sensors that adapt blood flow to the patient's moves. The new device could help thousands of people who die each year while waiting for an organ donor.
