Advantages of technology in curing heart-diseases
These innovative devices and features for diagnosing and treating heart-conditions are making a revolution :-
1. 3D bioprinted heart tissue

Biolife4D, a Chicago-based biotech startup, recently announced that it can bioprint a human cardiac muscle patch, which can be sutured over an area of dead heart muscle to speed up recovery from acute heart failure. The entire process is highly complex. It involves reprograming a patient’s blood cells into stem cells, which are then mutated to produce the specific types of cells suitable for the 3D bioengineering of a human heart.
2.AI algorithms by Google

Designed by researchers from Google and its health-tech subsidiary, Verily is an artificial intelligence algorithm that promises to predict heart disease just by taking one glance at a patient’s eyes. To build this technology, scientists looked at a database of nearly 300,000 patients and scanned it for patterns. Since the rear interior wall of the eye hides a network of blood vessels, the eye scans revealed telltale signs of heart disease, such as high blood pressure. Although still in the testing stage, it is able to predict with 70% accuracy whether a patient will suffer a heart issue in the next five years.
3.Robotic sleeve

Harvard University and Boston Children’s Hospital researchers came up with a soft robot that fits around the heart and helps it beat. The device holds much promise for individuals whose heart has been weakened by a heart attack and are at risk of heart failure. The robot syncs with the heart through a thin silicone sleeve with soft pneumatic actuators that mimic the heart’s outer muscle layers. It does so without any direct contact with the blood, as is the case with most currently available devices. This removes the need for potentially dangerous blood thinner medications.
4.Implantable defibrillators

Designed by Newpace with the help of researchers from Na Homolce Hospital in Prague, Czech Republic, the implantable string subcutaneous defibrillator (ISSD) is a less invasive device that can prevent sudden cardiac death.

Heart of "NATURE"
Lake Toyoni in Japan looks like a heart,and the miracle of nature is that it has made it in a country where the least heart-problem occurs.
The Lake Toyoni is well-known as a heart-shaped lake from the sky, and the another name is "Heart Lake".Lake Toyoni (豊似湖) is a freshwater lake at about 260 m elevation in Erimo town located in the southeastern part of Tomakomai city(Japan).
