It would be nice if the article said if the artificial heart includes functions such as pumping harder in response to exercise and such, because it isn’t entirely clear if it does
Maybe it’s implied, but I feel it should be explicitly mentioned
Other prosthetic/mechanical changes to hearts don’t do that, so I would guess this one doesn’t either. It would require interfacing with the brain and decoding stimulus, which would be much more complex.
Usually the recipents just keep activity low or pass out when they need the energy/heat dissipation and can’t get it.
