I also saw the DATELINE piece and was impressed from a "general public interest" point of view. True they didn't mention anything about competitive devices or the commercial nature of such a device but with only 5% of those thousands in need of a new heart (0 beyond the age of 65), it seems that not only is there a serious need but lots of room for competition! With present survival rate odds at 50%, there is still a lot of work to be done. It's also interesting to note that the first implants were performed in Berlin, Germany not the US.
