Big fake heart in Maastricht

Big fake heart in Maastricht

Do not freak out. Today there is a gigantic fake heart on the Vrijthof in Maastricht.

Why? The Heart Foundation and The Heart &Vascular Group want to draw more attention to various cardiovascular diseases. With a huge fake heart at eight meters wide and six meters high, we think that will work.

Through this large heart people can get information about the functioning of the heart, various cardiovascular diseases and its treatment. The fake heart includes a bypass , a stent, a heart valve disease, but also the damage of a heart attack to see.
