Electric Heart
The man with a battery-powered heart
Peter Houghton is battery powered. He is the first person in the world to live with an electric heart - bringing new hope to the battle against heart disease.
He is the first patient to be equipped with the 'Jarvik 2000', a novel heart pump that plugs into his head. After suffering from chronic heart failure, he came across a pioneering heart surgeon in London. One dramatic operation later, he has escaped the jaws of death and become a medical first.
