2,021st patient receives 'miracle' heart procedure at Intermountain

MURRAY — When Loraine Jensen's legs started swelling at the end of 2020, she feared she might be going through the same thing her husband experienced several years earlier before he passed away.
"My left leg was almost double," she said on Tuesday. "My feet would hurt, and I'd wake up in the middle of the night in pain."
But medical treatments for people with a heart condition like Jensen's have undergone technological improvements since her husband's illness.
Aortic stenosis causes the aortic valve — which is where blood exits the heart — to stop opening, said Dr. Edward Miner, a cardiologist at Intermountain Medical Center. The condition is often diagnosed in patients with a heart murmur.
