Scientists are making 3D-printed human HEARTS

‘Scientists are developing custom 3D-printed replicas of human hearts – in an effort to improve life-saving technology fitted in thousands of patients each year.

The models mimic blood flow and pressure in patients’ diseased hearts, allowing surgeons to improve replacement valve procedures and select the best fit.

Replacement heart valves are used when a person’s natural valve is diseased or damaged, stopping the heart from working as it should. ‘
