Their bodies are upside down.. Rare cases of people carrying their hearts on the right (video)

Professor of Critical Care Medicine at Qasr Al-Aini in Egypt, Dr. Hossam Mowafi, revealed the fact that there are people who carry their hearts to the right and their bodies upside down.

He added, during the presentation of the "Rabi Zedni Alma" program, broadcast on the "Echo of the Country" channel, that there are some people who carry their hearts to the right, and this is a congenital defect.

He explained that there is a heart on the right side of the body that is acquired, by the occurrence of an emergency situation for the patient that caused a change in the location of the heart.

He added that the child is born with his heart on the left side, but when severe fibrosis of the lung occurs, the heart begins to move to the right as a result of being stretched with fibrosis, or it shifts from its place due to being affected by the presence of water around the lung that pushes it and moves it from its place.

He stated that the presence of the heart on the right side in an unnatural way is accompanied by cirrhosis or water around the lung, indicating that the fibrosis has no solution, but the water can be withdrawn and the heart returns to its normal position.

He indicated that fibrosis is a deformation of the lung as a result of exposure to some infections, and even after the patient recovers, the shape remains the same and the heart is pulled towards it.

He revealed that some people are born with an inverted body, including the heart, and the organs on the right side become the left side and so on, but these people do not suffer from any diseases and this difference is a congenital defect that may be in the whole body or in the heart only.
