Despite current successes in modern cardiology and heart surgery, the problem of restoring and maintaining cardiac function in cases of sudden arrest or ventricular insufficiency is still urgent. Different methods of mechanically assisting the heart and replacing its pumping function exist, and direct mechanical cardiac massage (DMCM) is one of the more important. Experimental results with dogs and calves on 2- to 4-h DMCM, cardiac massage lasting for up to 48 h, subsequent restoration of cardiac activity, and cardiac massage during experimentally induced myocardial infarction permitted clinical application in patients with myocardial infarction complicated by ventricular fibrillation. DMCM also permits extension of the possibilities of obtaining and transplanting donor organs. It is one of the variants for solving the problem of total and partial replacement of the pump function of the heart, and now makes it possible to solve some important problems in transplantation and cardiac resuscitation.
尽管现代心脏病学和心脏外科目前已取得成功，但在心脏骤停或心室功能不全的情况下恢复和维持心脏功能的问题仍然十分紧迫。存在多种机械辅助心脏并替代其泵血功能的方法，直接机械心脏按摩（DMCM）是其中较为重要的一种。对狗和小牛进行2至4小时DMCM、长达48小时的心脏按摩、随后恢复心脏活动以及在实验性心肌梗死期间进行心脏按摩的实验结果，使得DMCM可应用于并发心室颤动的心肌梗死患者的临床治疗。DMCM还扩大了获取和移植供体器官的可能性。它是解决心脏泵功能全部或部分替代问题的方法之一，现在使得解决移植和心脏复苏中的一些重要问题成为可能。
