A member asked:
Can you go jogging if you have an artificial heart and get exercise?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Artificial heart: Until recently there wasn't a small enough portable power system for an artificial heart to allow activity such as jogging. Stationary bicycle riding is possible. There may be jogging possible with artificial hearts in the future but I don't believe the present clinical equipment state along with the medication state allows it.
