The first artificial heart was patented by Paul Winchell in 1963. Winchell subsequently assigned the patent to the University of Utah, where Robert Jarvik ultimately used it as the model for his Jarvik-7. Early attempts prior to the Jarvik-7 were disappointing; hosts died within hours or days and/or suffered massive foreign-body rejection problems. Jarvik's human designs were more impressive but his patients succumbed as well; his first Jarvik-7 patient, 61-year-old retired dentist Barney Clark, survived for 112 days after it was implanted at the University of Utah on December 2, 1982. Another problem is that an artificial heart requires an external power supply such as a battery pack worn on the patient's waist; no design so far has been able to use the body's own natural biological energy.

Artificial hearts date back to the mid-1950s when Dr. Paul Winchell first patented an artificial heart.
William J. Kolff invented the first artificial heart and the first artificial kidney-dialysis machine.

Paul Winchell gave the patent to the University of Utah where Paul Jarvick "perfected it".

Dr. Frankenstein did it first but others have tried to copy it.
I think the Tin Man in the Wizzard of Oz tried to do one too.
