Cardiologists performed a vital operation on three-year-old Mukhsin so that he would no longer faint. It became possible thanks to your support. Thank you for your responsiveness and kindness!

Mukhsin was born with long QT syndrome. His heart began to fail from the very first minutes of his life. Instead of 90 beats per minute, it did 30-50. To stop seizures, doctors implanted a cardioverter defibrillator in the sternum. Recently, he stopped coping, which is why the child began to lose consciousness. The fainting spells became more frequent and prolonged. Doctors recommended a right-sided symptectomy.

"I thank all the people who supported my son in a difficult moment," says Mukhsina Mamur's dad. "We simply would not have been able to cope without you.

The operation was successful: the baby's heart is working properly. Muhsin is already at home with his family. Upon returning, the doctors installed a holder to monitor the operation of the children's "motor". The results have already been sent to Moscow cardiac surgeons. But even without an examination, parents can see that their son has become more active. I recently asked my dad for a punching bag and gloves so that I could exercise at home. He says that now he is the strongest, because he has two hearts – one of his own, and the other is an iron one, which was given to him by kind people. Thank you for coming to Mukhsin's aid without hesitation, giving him a chance for a healthy and happy life!

About the campaign

Mukhsin needs heart surgery!

Three–year-old Mukhsin has long QT syndrome. This means that his heart is beating less frequently than it should be. The boy has already undergone several surgical procedures. Doctors are ready to perform another vital operation on him - a right-sided sympathectomy.

Mukhsin's heart beats less frequently than it should: normally, it can be up to 90 beats, while a boy's heart beats range from 30 to 50. In the first month of life, a pacemaker was implanted in the child. But the bouts of unconsciousness continued. Doctors performed an operation - a left-sided sympathectomy. They literally cut the nerve endings that conducted electrical impulses from the brain to the heart, causing extraordinary contractions in moments of stress, fright, and excitement. They also implanted a cardioverter defibrillator - the device gives a discharge at the moment of cardiac arrest in order to start it again. But the boy's heart still loses its rhythm. Surgery is needed to reduce the number of seizures.

Muhsin is growing up as a very active child, he understands everything about his heart and his life. "I'm going to grow up and become a lifeguard like Spider-Man! And I will give people my iron heart," says the three—year-old kid. In the meantime, we can give a piece of our heart to Muhsin and help with a vital operation that is not carried out under compulsory medical insurance.
