Researchers make progress
toward thermal heart pump
RICHLAND, Wash. (AP) — A research team
says it's making progress toward developing an
artificial heart that could enable thousands of
people with heart trouble to lead normal lives
Heart disease kills 750,000 people a year in
the United States, but fewer than 50 heart
transplants a year are performed because
rejection of a foreign heart still remains a prob
lem.
Maurice White, an engineer heading a re
search team at the Joint Center for Graduate
Study's Artificial Heart Research Laboratories,
says research on artificial hearts began 15 years
ago in Richland Scientists are now trying to
develop a thermal-powered system to drive an
artificial heart blood pump
The Richland lab — one of several doing
such studies around the country — is one of two
contracted by the National Heart, Lung and
Blood Institute to work on a thermal-powered
system. The institute is one of the major national
health institutes of the federal government
"Fifty-thousand people a year could benefit
from an artificial heart and be able to return to an
active life,” says White, who heads a team of
seven senior engineers, two senior engineer
technicians, a graduate student and an admin
istrative staff
Implanting of an electrical system in
humans could come in four or five years, and
thermal systems two years beyond that. White
said in an interview
He envisions artificial hearts being readily
available for implant by the mid-1990s
The devices would not be vulnerable to attack
by the body's immunity system, and they could
be produced in numbers to substantially reduce
or overcome the supply problem
In 15 years of research at Richland, the size of
the power source has been reduced seven times
from 20 liters in 1967 to two-tenths of a liter
today
Most of the earlier systems were implanted in
animals, White said, the first one 12 years ago
Each of the custom-built systems costs about
$70,000, but would cost far less when mass
produced for heart patients
‘ Applying mass production techniques to the
current design, in ordering 100,000 units at one
time, the manufactured cost would be about
$1,000 apiece," for the thermal power source
alone, White said
Layoffs are indefinite
Washlngton(AP) — The
Reagan administration said
Tuesday that about half of the
214,000 auto workers now on
indefinite layoffs probably will
never return to their old jobs
Robert G Dederick assistant
secretary of commerce for
economic affairs, said that even
when the industry recovers,
there will be more than a half
million fewer jobs than just four
years ago
Asked by reporters what the
outlook is for those now on the
layoff rolls, Dederick replied,
"Half will go into other jobs.’’
Earlier, he told a hearing of
