Last year a local physician noticed an unusually high number of cancer-related deaths in the tiny riverside hamlet of Hartford (pop. 300), whose people have always been accustomed to eating fish from the Pigeon River.

The pump's spinning motion and the resulting continuous flow of blood from the heart represent a departure from the natural pulsating action that most other devices try to mimic. Some researchers at first feared that the whirling blades would destroy blood cells and that the body would be unable to tolerate the nonpulsating blood flow. So far, the problem has not materialized. Another potential drawback: small as the pump is, it may be too large...
