After the operation, the left ventricular assist device worked continuously supporting his heart, breaking the previous world duration record on 11 August 2004 at 1,513 days.[3] The record represents the survival of both the person and the artificial heart. A few individuals have lived longer than 1,512 days but with two artificial hearts, having the first surgically replaced due to failure or wear. Houghton was the first person in the world to be given an artificial heart for permanent use rather than as a bridge to transplantation. An educated psychotherapist, Houghton has written a book, "The World Within Me," in which he contemplates how receiving the transplant challenges his devout Catholicism. He also reports that, ironically, the heart transplant has left him largely devoid of emotion.[4] He died on November 25, 2007 at Birmingham's Selly Oak Hospital at the age of 69 years. The cause of death was given as multiple organ failure.[5] References1. ^{{cite news |url = https://www.theguardian.com/obituaries/story/0,,2229000,00.html |work = The Guardian|title = Peter Houghton |first = Caroline |last = Richmond| accessdate = 4 January 2008 | location=London | date=18 December 2007}} {{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Houghton, Peter}}2. ^{{cite episode |title = Last Word |url = http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/news/lastword_04jan2008.shtml |series = Last Word | serieslink = Last Word |network = BBC |station = BBC Radio 4 |airdate = 2008-01-04}} 3. ^{{cite web |url = http://www.jarvikheart.com/basic.asp?id=63 |title = Jarvik 2000: The First Lifetime-Use Patient |publisher = Jarvik Heart, Inc |accessdate = 4 January 2008 |deadurl = yes |archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20101121172612/http://www.jarvikheart.com/basic.asp?id=63 |archivedate = 21 November 2010 |df = }} 4. ^[https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/08/11/AR2007081101390_pf.html His Heart Whirs Anew] 5. ^Artificial heart man dies aged 68 5 : People from Birmingham, West Midlands|2007 deaths|1938 births|Heart transplant recipients|Deaths from multiple organ failure |
