A girl 16 years old from Wales have two heart, and she is really health. When she was a baby she get a heart donor that stick to the original heart.

Doctors said, her original hearth is work normally, and after 3.5 years her artificial heart take out from her chest. Sir Magdi Yacoub, a doctor that lead of this surgery. Artificial heart is planted when Hannah was 2 years old, that surprised and delighted extraordinary. Likewise journal Lancet reported on Monday 13.

The operation is done on 1995 and survive Hannah because she have a cardiomyopathy diseases, the condition that make her heart bigger twice and risk of being loose from the body.

When she was 10 years, She getting problem because of drug consume to avoid from artificial heart refuse. Then Hannah get tumor and beginning to grow and must have a chemotherapy.

For getting a chemo, doctor team should lessen the drug (immunosuppressants). The effect then Hannah body refuse for artificial heart, the doctor just have one alternative to take up this artificial heart.

After three years, her original heart can work properly without any medicine. Three years have over Hannah fully recover, as doctor Sir Magdi and Victor Tsang. Sir Magdi said the recover of Hannah heart like a miracle. A new history of medical experiment. Doctor is not predict that original heart will recover. The heart that can’t contraction anymore, now can work normally, even more better than artificial heart.

Recovering From Heart Attack

After a heart attack, the patient must rest for a while to reduce the work load on the heart and allow it to heal. During the healing process, scar tissue will form around the area where the heart muscle has died. This scar tissue cannot contract, but if the scar is small, the heart may continue to function well and the patient may recover. Today, physicians are advising a shorter period of bed rest than they did in past decades. They stress starting a planned program of exercise under medical supervision as soon as the patient is well enough. Exercise can aid the process by which the heart develops collateral circulation, a system of smaller blood when a main artery is blocked.

People recovering from heart attacks experience many different emotions. Many are very frightened, and understandably so. They may have the idea that it will be dangerous to put any strain whatsoever on their heart. They may be afraid to exercise at all, even to get out of a chair and walk across the room. Spouses may try to encourage victims to avoid exercise, including sexual activity, and thus may reinforce and doubts the individual already has about his or her heart. The patient's fear of a recurrence of the heart attack symptoms, or even of sudden death, may interfere with rehabilitation.

The first step in cardiac rehabilitation, then, is to reassure patients that a careful, step-by-step exercise program is not likely to hurt them. Through rehabilitation, patient can be restored to a relatively high level of functioning and may can eventually return to normal life. Their chanees for long term recovery are better, of course, if they also make lifestyle changes, reducing some of the risk factors.
