A two-month-old baby girl suffering from frequent and silent heart attacks damaging heart muscles was successfully operated upon at a Mumbai hospital, doctors said.
According to the doctors at the Sri H.N. Reliance Foundation Hospital and Research Centre, the baby came with a problem of fast breathing, feeding poorly and crying incessantly.
"Doctors conducting an echocardiography on her found an abnormal artery origin which was turning away majority of the blood supply from the heart, and was reversing the blood flow away from the heart as well," a statement from the hospital said.
