A shocking news has come out from Britain where a Muslim woman is carrying her heart not in her chest but in a bag.
According to details, 41-year-old Salwa Hussain had a heart attack at home in 2017. She was alone at home but dared to drive herself to her family doctor 200 meters away, from where she was shifted to the hospital.
It was revealed in the hospital that Salwa Hussain's heart has failed and he will have to have an artificial heart. Doctors transferred him to another hospital where he underwent a 6-hour operation. His heart was removed through an operation and an artificial pumping system was installed.
Doctors have fitted Salwa with "power plastic chambers" through which two pipes come out and are connected to a pump outside. The pump is powered by a battery-powered electric motor and supplies air to these chambers.
Through this air, the chambers act like a heart and supply blood to the whole body. The chamber is inside the woman's chest, while the pump, electric motor and batteries are in the bag outside, which Salwa always carries with her.
Two tubes protruding from the inside of the bag went through her navel hole. Transparent plastic pipes reach the inside of the chest and inflate the two bubbles inside the chest, allowing blood to circulate throughout the body in the same way that the heart pumps it.
The equipment inside the bag weighs about 7 kg. Salwa Hussain has an artificial heart made in the chest of an American company which cost 86 thousand pounds.
Doctors say that until Salwa receives a heart donation, she will have to carry her heart on her shoulders.
