Abstract
One of the most important scientific breakthroughs of the modern era has been the ability to support or replace the failing heart. Heart transplantation and mechanical circulatory support (MCS) are now so widely accepted that it is easy to forget what a short history they have. However, the concept of cardiac support and replacement is not new. It may even have been foreshadowed by the biblical prophet Ezekiel, who said, “A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh” [1].
