KOZHIKODE: Haridasan, a native of Balussery in Kozhikode, has a strange condition. It has been found that Haridasan's heart shows an inclination to the right side unlike that of majority people where the heart is inclined to the left side. The condition, known as 'Dextrocardia,' can be found in only one among 900000 people.
Haridasan, a farmer, jokingly says that his heart has an inborn right inclination. He added that he has not experienced any difficulties due to his strange condition. Haridasan, now 60, came to know about this strange condition 15 years ago when he underwent some tests following high blood pressure. Several tests including the Echo test were conducted to finalize his condition. He also added that soon after identifying this, doctors asked him to stay in the hospital for one week so that medical students can learn about his condition.
Dextrocardia is a congenital condition, which means that people are born with this abnormality.
