There are two kinds of artificial hearts, an implantable temporary and totally implanted permanent artificial hearts. The function of the artificial heart is to pump blood around the body the same way a normal heart does. IMPLANTABLE TEMPORARY-This is only used in patients for a short time during an operation until a real heart is transplanted into the patient. TOTALLY IMPLANTED PERMANENT- This is used in patients for the remainder of their lives due to faulty heart conditions beyond a transplant.
