Artificial heart technology that keeps the carrier alive without a heartbeat or a pulse? Freaky... It does the same job as a heart would, using blades that circulate and push the blood forward steadily. Because of the steady flow, there is no pulse. The test subject was a young calf. Apparently, if she was hooked up to an EKG monitor, she would produce a flat line, but she was alive with no impairment.
A 55-year old man was the first trial. He had been given 12 hours to live  due to amyloidosis before the technology was inserted. He lived another month before the disease compromised his other organs. With more tweaking and testing, this could be a lifesaver in the medical industry.
