It is a very bizarre feeling seeing any of your organs outside the body, but seeing it at display is a surreal experience all together. Jennifer Sutton, 23, from Ringwood has undergone this strange feeling. She suffered from a life-threatening condition called restrictive cardiomyopathy in her teens. She successfully underwent an operation to replace her heart earlier this year. Now the original heart, which nearly killed her, has been put on temporary display by the Wellcome Collection in central London. She expressed her feelings by saying it caused me so much pain and turmoil when it was inside me. Seeing it sitting here is extremely bizarre and very strange. Finally I can see this odd looking lump of muscle that has given me so much upset.

Restrictive cardiomyopathy causes the heart muscle to stiffen so the heart cannot relax normally after contraction. As the disease progresses, the heart muscle continues to stiffen and eventually contraction is also affected.
