Incredible! Meet Man With Heart In A Bag Pack

A body builder who suffered heart failure was rushed to hospital for a transplant and now has an artificial heart he carries around in a backpack.

Andrew Jones, the Connetricut, first became unwell in 2012 after struggling to breathe during a run.

He was horrified when two years later he started to cough up blood and developed a high fever.

In hospital, doctors diagnosed the 26 years old with cardiomyopathy-a hereditary disease of the heart muscle and soon he became so weak he couldn't stand,walk or dress himself.

A few months later, Medics told if he didn’t have a transplant immediately he would die.

As there were no organs available, he was fitted with a pacemaker and an artificial heart which he now carries around in a bag on his back.

Despite his brush with death, he is now back to the gym and said he cries after workouts as he feels so thankful to be alive.
