Could an artificial heart be immune to heart attacks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Artificial heart: An artificial heart doesn't isn't supplied by arteries so a classic heart attack isn't a problem. Artificial hearts come with their own unique problems which are not 'heart attacks' but can be quite bad problems in their own right.
