An increasing number of people now are living with artificial hearts waiting for a heart , transplant, but as ben tracy shows us, one day, a fake heart may beat forever inside your chest. Now were rocking and rolling. Ben you wouldnt think there was anything wrong with lance white until you notice that backpack, those tubes, and that unusual sound. Are you aware of that sound at all at this point or is it just white noise to you . Its white noise to me. When people tell me about it, i hear it. Ben its the sound of his heart beating. The artificial heart is right here. Ben well, not his heart exactly. The one he was born had to be removed when he had heart he now has a total artificial heart beating inside his body. Do you feel any less human knowing that you are carrying around a machine that is pumping a fake heart inside your body . You do. In the beginning, you do. If it stops, im in trouble. I dont exist anymore. Ben this is what it looks like. Two artificial ventricles are implanted in the chest.

We use the total artificial heart to give patients the time to be able to wait for the correct donor. Ben lance has been waiting for almost two years. Im hoping this will be my year. Patience is a virtue. Hey, my man. Ben companies such as syncardia are working on creating a permanent artificial heart for widespread use, something that could last for decades and one day make donor hearts unnecessary. Its no easy task. Our hearts pump about 2000 gallons of blood every day and of blood vessels. But lance has Something Else on his mind. I think more about wanting to meet the family if im ever allowed to do that, of the person who was able to donate the heart, and thank them and let them see, you know, who i am and what they done for me and my family.
