Because the heart talks back to the brain. Neurocardiology has proven that the heart has its own intrinsic nervous system—sometimes called the "little brain" in the chest. It sends more signals to the brain than the brain sends to it.
First, the science. In an average lifetime, the human heart beats about without ever pausing for maintenance. It is a feat of hydraulic engineering that no man-made machine has ever replicated.
While total artificial hearts (like the SynCardia) exist, they are bulky and require patients to carry a 13-pound driver in a backpack. The future is soft robotics —heart-shaped pneumatic pumps made of synthetic muscle that mimic the twisting, squeezing motion of a real heartbeat rather than the clunky pistons of current models.
