I walk because I personally have experience with heart disease. When I was 18 months old I was diagnosed with Kawasaki’s disease which left me with 3 giant coronary aneurysms, an occluded left anterior descending coronary artery and 22 years of being on Coumadin therapy. Over the years, my heart compensated by developing collaterals- tiny vessels that created a sort of natural bypass. I’ve been able to lead a normal healthy life. My experience gave me a passion for cardiology. I have worked for 14 years in the field and hope my experience can give hope to others.
We're all tied to heart disease and stroke in some way. We have to change that. Will you help me?
