【 摘 要 】

Attempts to create an artificial heart were highlighted by our journal one year ago [1-3]. Now we can say that there is no break-through news in this field: no technological progress, no pioneering research and no spectacular advancements are reported. An imperfect understanding of the cardiovascular system performance hinders any progress in the R & D activities aimed at the artificial heart creation. But from our point of view, all the existing design & engineering difficulties can be mastered. However in this connection another question comes to mind: is it reasonable in principle to design and produce an artificial heart? Let us leave this question open for future discussions and offer our list of issues to be solved as given below.
