Here are some Cardiac Patient Stories from the Saint Barnabas
Health Care System.
Rose, of Maplewood, NJ, doesn’t worry about
her heart anymore. Ever since she turned her cardiac care
over to the experts at the Saint Barnabas Heart Centers,
her heart is beating strong and steady.
“Another doctor told me I was too old for heart surgery
and I should go home and enjoy what time I had left,” she
recalls. Instead, Rose got another opinion. Cardiologists
and cardiac surgeons at the Saint Barnabas Heart Centers
treated the 71-year-old-woman’s complex heart problems
in the knick of time. They replaced and repaired three heart
valves which were causing severe muscle damage that would
soon have been irreversible.
“They did such a marvelous job, I feel as if I never
had a heart problem.” says Rose. “I have much
more living to do.”
