    摘要: The present application relates to an implantable blood pump for assisting a heart function. The blood pump comprises a heat source and a wall that delimits a flow cannel. In addition, the blood pump comprises a heat distributor for distributing heat generated by the heat source to a surface of the wall. In order to transfer heat from the heat source to the blood conveyed in the flow channel, the heat distributor is thermally conductively connected to the heat source and thermally conductively connected to the opposite face of the wall from the flow channel.
