Their promissory nature as a cure for heart failure aligned neatly with the twentieth-century American medical community's view of the body as an entity of replacement parts. In Artificial Hearts, Shelley McKellar traces the controversial history of this imperfect technology beginning in the 1950s and leading up to the present day. McKellar profiles generations of researchers and devices as she traces the heart's development and clinical use. She situates the events of Dr. Michael DeBakey and Dr. Denton Cooley's professional fall-out after the first artificial heart implant case in 1969, as well as the 1982-83 Jarvik-7 heart implant case of Barney Clark, within a larger historical trajectory. She explores how some individuals-like former US Vice President Dick Cheney-affected the public profile of this technology by choosing to be implanted with artificial hearts. Finally, she explains the varied physical experiences, both negative and positive, of numerous artificial heart recipients. McKellar argues that desirability-rather than the feasibility or practicality of artificial hearts-drove the invention of the device. Technical challenges and unsettling clinical experiences produced an ambivalence toward its continued development by many researchers, clinicians, politicians, bioethicists, and the public. But the potential and promise of the artificial heart offset this ambivalence, influencing how success was characterized and by whom. 650 0 $a Heart, Artificial $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Heart $x History. $z United States $x History. 650 7 $a Heart, Artificial. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00953756 650 7 $a Heart $x Surgery. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00953666 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 650 12 $a Heart, Artificial $x history. $0 https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D006354Q000266 $0 https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D006354Q000266 650 22 $a History, 20th Century. $0 https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D049673 $0 https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D049673 650 22 $a History, 21st Century. $0 https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D049674 $0 https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D049674 651 2 $a United States. $0 https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D014481 $0 https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D014481 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191210024833.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4D7B36701B1B11EAA846F92397128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
