No Pulse Heart The device is created by having 2 pumps which act as the ventricle and atrium. Two augers rotate at 8,000 to 12,000 rpms to push the blood consistently throughout the body, eliminating a pulse from the body. There is no longer a systolic and diastolic number. Since the heart does not pump blood there is no pulse throughout the body. It is a very interesting idea and very helpful for future use, but there could be some drawbacks. The pulse is helpful in establishing a baseline for certain diseases or injuries if someone calls 9-1-1 during an emergency. Although the emergency services will create a new method for taking the blood pressure, different people will have different support from the device which may make taking the blood pressure more difficult. Overall the heart would be a benefit society by allowing people to survive before getting a heart transplant.
