Between the TAH and the atria are mechanical valves that work like the heart's own valves. Valves control the flow of blood in the heart. ]]> 2017-10-13 19:30:16 UTC https://padlet.com/crowdercandace4444/n03ru01mnpcn/wish/196956490 Indications for the use of Artificial Hearts crowdercandace4444 https://padlet.com/crowdercandace4444/n03ru01mnpcn/wish/196957886  TAH implantation is an effective therapeutic option for the treatment of patients with end-stage biventricular heart failure. ]]> 2017-10-13 19:37:13 UTC https://padlet.com/crowdercandace4444/n03ru01mnpcn/wish/196957886 Costs of Artificial Hearts crowdercandace4444 https://padlet.com/crowdercandace4444/n03ru01mnpcn/wish/196958403 The cost of artificial hearts range from a low of $100,000 to a high of $300,000 per patient in the initial year. ]]> 2017-10-13 19:39:32 UTC https://padlet.com/crowdercandace4444/n03ru01mnpcn/wish/196958403 Contraindications crowdercandace4444 https://padlet.com/crowdercandace4444/n03ru01mnpcn/wish/196958986 -Right ventricular failure
