16 year old Hannah Clark had her heart transplant ten years ago, that gave her two hearts.
A decade later, and surviving bouts of cancer along the way, her doctors has announced she has made a remarkable recovery.
Hannah who suffered heart failure from cardiomyopathy as an infant, told the media press that her heart healed itself.
There was a point in time back in 2006, when doctors nearly risked reversing her heart transplant to save her from Epstein-Barr-virus-associated post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder.
At 11 months, Clark underwent a heart transplant where doctors grafted a donor heart onto the weak side of Clark’s heart.
By age 4, doctors noticed that both hearts were functioning normally and somehow, the extra heart helped Clark’s weakened heart to heal.
The young Brit teen is now cancer free.
Her doctor was quoted, “The possibility of recovery of the heart is just like magic. The heart, which was not contracting at all at the time, we put the new heart to be pumping next to it and take its work, now is functioning normally.”
