The study concerned the possibility of using superficial skeletal muscles of the thorax as a power source to a bio-pump used for supporting the hemodynamically insufficient heart muscle. Having thoroughly analyzed the topography, ways and sources of blood supply to the muscles, the pectoralis minor muscle was selected as the most suitable one for this purpose.
