What Is It Called To Have Upside Down Heart?

At the age of 52 after falling out at worked and being taken to the hospital I found I have an upside down heart. Half of the blood pumped to the heart drains back into the main artery before it is moved on. All these years I thought I was having mini-heart attacks. What is the name for this condition and why isn t it recognized for disability benefits.
