Heart Stories Session 3 - Mayo Clinic

As part of a Special Briefing for News Media at The Paley Center for Media in New York , hosted by Mayo Clinic's Dr. Sharonne Hayes, in conjunction with National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, WomenHeart: The National Coalition for Women with Heart Disease, one panel discussion focused on women who shared their survival and heroic stories of battling heart disease. The session, entitled Stories from the Heart: Survival Stories from WomenHeart Champions, featured four women panelists with heart disease who are sharing their powerful stories on hope and survival. The WomenHeart Champions advocate for prevention, early detection, accurate diagnosis and proper treatment for women with heart disease. Their stories put a face on heart disease and make the statistics on women's heart disease come to life. Diane McDaniel -- She was diagnosed with congestive heart failure during pregnancy in 1970, she was hospitalized from when she was five months pregnant until her daughter was two weeks old. Nadine Jenkins -- She has cardiomyopathy and suffered a silent heart attack before age 34. She now benefits from an implanted defibrillator to manage her arrhythmias and protect her from sudden cardiac death. Maxine Levy -- She was a heart attack survivor at age 41. Now in excellent health, this bank executive credits her angioplasty, medication and, most of all, her healthy lifestyle and commitment to regular exercise to living well with heart disease. Brendaa Hayes -- At age 40, she collapsed on her kitchen floor and was then diagnosed with several heart rhythm abnormalities. "Without warning, family history or injury, I was thrust into a life of heart disease." She's been treated with medications, catheter ablations and a pacemaker.
