MYAKKA CITY, FLA.- A Manatee County woman met her future husband while waiting for a heart transplant.
Angela Horan was 36 years old and had three children.
She had congestive heart failure and was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy.
She said her heart was pumping at 8%. They said that I probably had a virus that you get all the time, but for some reason this time that I got it, my body attacked my heart instead of the virus, said Angela Horan.
February is
Heart Awareness Month. That s good. We need to be as aware as possible of these ticking keepers of life pumping inside of our bodies.
According to the
American Heart Association s 2019 Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics report, heart-related disease remains the top cause of death for Americans. Want a grim statistic? Linda R. Bernstein, Pharm D. of
Vita Media Corporation recently confirmed the data showing that someone in the United States has a
heart attack every 40 seconds. That s a sobering thought.
Let s review some of the most important things you can do and changes you can make to keep your heart as healthy as possible.
