The clinical and animal tests have been so successful that researchers said they feel they should receive governmental approval to test the heart on real patients. Right now the U. holds two separate biological grants dealing with the implantation of artificial hearts. Holfert said the U. has a five-yegrant from the National Institutes of Health to study and design the Utah 100. Right now researchers are in their third year of the grant and they are already proceeding with patient testing of the artificial heart The U. is also contracted by the ar NIH to attempt to construct an artificial heart that will become totally of U vraifi) from page three process like it was supposed to.

He added that having four schools work on the heart will be beneficial because "basically we are all working on four separate artificial heart devices. This broadens the spectrum."
