the heart
The heart muscle is one of the most important organs of the human body at all, one of the three muscle cells, muscle cells three types: smooth muscle, skeletal muscle, and heart muscle. The heart muscle is constantly working; it pumps blood from the heart to the rest of the human body. The heart pumps five liters per minute, and that amount increases when you do any physical or athletic effort.
Because the heart is a complex and effective member of the human body, it may be exposed to several diseases, which leads to the failure of his work, so he is unable to pump enough blood, so is resort to the process of transplantation of the heart.
Causes of heart transplantation
Limitations of myocardial infarction, also known as congestive heart failure: It is caused by the inability of the heart muscle to pump sufficient amounts of blood that are loaded with oxygen to other organs of the body, and thus lead to the retention of fluids within the human body, including the lungs, leading to bulge Feet, legs, shortness of breath, myocardial insufficiency occurs due to several reasons.
Causes of heart failure
- Cardiac insufficiency caused by a drug.
- Chronic pulmonary disease leads to heart failure.
- Congenital heart defects.
- Heart disease caused by diabetes or high blood pressure.
- The presence of inflammation in the heart valve.
- Myocarditis.
- Disorders of connective tissue.
Heart transplantation
The doctor performs the necessary analysis of the patient before the operation, and depends on the process of transplantation of the heart on the general anesthesia of the patient, and then make a section along the bone of the thorax, and separate the doctor greatness to reach the members of the chest, and then connect the artificial cardiac system to the patient’s body to maintain blood circulation during The procedure is performed, but the blood circulation, which is an artificial device, works outside the patient’s chest so that the doctor can work in a clean place.
During the process
Surgeons specialize in the so-called pulmonary cardiomyopathy, by preventing the flow of blood in the basic blood vessels; it is converted to the machine to purify the blood and oxygen supply, and then surgeons the membrane of the heart (pericardium), and exit the heart while keeping one of the ears of the heart, And then connect the blood vessels of the patient with the healthy heart by sewing, and then the doctor connects the blood of the patient from the machine to the body again, and then close the membrane of the heart (pericardium), and is cut again, and put several tubes are connected from Inside the chest until it is eliminated The remaining blood inside the tissue.
