Can A Person Live Without A Heart?

According to a foreign news agency, an amazing incident took place in the US state of Michigan where a resident Stan Larkin lived without a heart for 555 days while participating in sports activities with friends.

At 25, Stan Larkin was diagnosed with familial cardiomyopathy.

It is a heart disease in which the affected person's heart suddenly stops completely at any time and no matter how healthy you are; you die.

Stan Larkin later needed a transplant and had to stay in the hospital permanently so that doctors could monitor him continuously.

However, doctors at the University of Michigan placed an artificial heart on his back.

The artificial heart kept beating for about two years, 555 days, and then in 2016 he underwent a heart transplant and is still alive.
