Abstract
Recent developments in the electronics and embedded software of the electrohydraulic total artificial heart under development at the University of Utah are discussed. These include development of a new brushless DC motor commutator, implementation of the implanted electronics in hybrids, integration of a transcutaneous energy transfer (TET) and telemetry system into the controller, and packaging of a short-term, totally implantable system. A discussion of future plans for the totally implantable system is given
