		Jarvik recalls that, before the surgery, Dr. Clark told doctors that he didn't expect to live more than a few days with the experimental heart, but he hoped that what the doctors learned might help save the lives of others someday.

		Robert Jarvik, M.D., inventor of the first permanently implantable artificial heart -- called the Jarvik-7 -- as well as of the Jarvik 2000, assisted University of Maryland Medical Center Chief of Cardiac Surgery Bartley Griffith M.D., during the procedure.
		The biggest difference between the Jarvik 2000 and most of the other assist devices is that those are very large, heavy pulsatile devices [which create a pulsing blood flow similar to a natural heart rather than a continuous blood flow, as is the case with the Jarvik 2000].

	MEN IN THE NEWS; A PAIR OF SKILLED HANDS TO GUIDE AN ARTIFICIAL HEART: ROBERT KIFFLER JARVIK - New York Times
		Dr. Robert Koffler Jarvik, who was the principal designer of the polyurethane Jarvik-7 artificial heart that was implanted in Barney B. Clark's body yesterday, had a strong motivation to invent such a machine: His father died of heart disease after open-heart surgery a decade earlier.
		Robert Jarvik was born in Midland, Mich., on May 11, 1946, and reared in Stamford, Conn. For some of his adult years he harbored an ambition to be an artist, and his wife, Elaine, whom he married in 1968, noted in an interview that he was particularly interested in sculpture.
		The son of a physician, Dr. Jarvik had often assisted his father in hospital operating rooms and acquired an interest in medicine and the design of surgical tools while in his teens.
