Found a way to make my heart beat forever

A photo from open sources Since birth, the human heart beats for many years, not stopping to rest. Problem arises with sudden cardiac arrest. Modern medicine has tried all sorts of ways to slow down aging and maintain work hearts. But the latest research by scientists in this area has revealed a way to maintain heart rate indefinitely. Researchers from the University of Illinois and Washington, using methods of forming high-quality graphic imaging and 3D printing, created a prototype of a thin outer membrane, which envelops the heart. Artificial membrane with integrated electrodes imitates the natural outer membrane of the heart, known as pericardium. The device perfectly covers the heart, supporting his work outside the body. Development has been demonstrated on a rabbit heart placed in a nutrient-rich solution substances, writes the British newspaper The Independent. Device able to control the work of the heart, detect signs of stopping heart and arrhythmias, and if necessary, apply electrical impulses to the heart muscle, as traditional pacemakers. Through the use of multiple electrodes, in contact with the body, the maximum effect is achieved. Wherein the new device can not be compared with conventional pacemakers, scientists say. Artificial membrane with Detects problems faster and requires less energy to maintain the heart in working condition. The electrodes are made from ordinary materials, and their structure allows the membrane stretch to cover the heart. But no need to hope that it will be possible to extend the life of the heart today. Technology showed its effectiveness only in laboratory conditions, while only on animal heart. But this gives us great confidence that already in a few years this invention will be of great benefit to man.
