Gürsoy, said in a statement, “I have been carrying out studies in the field of full artificial heart for 12 years. I am honored to be on the cover of a world-famous magazine like Forbes. In the magazine, I gave information about the heart hospital we will establish in Germany. I told them about the full artificial heart and how the full artificial heart research is currently doing. I have presented information about these recent studies in Europe. Heart failure is a big problem. Organ donation is rarely done. Therefore, full artificial heart research should be given importance and more budget should be allocated. I have a lot of experience with both humans and animals. A full artificial heart is of great importance, especially in women.”
