TESTIMONIALS

Annie, 64 years old

Retired (Pas-de-Calais, France)

Annie, 64 years old

For several years, I’d been having heart rhythm problems lasting an hour at a time, three times per week. Then it increased to four days a week. It was an arrhythmia. Treatment wasn’t helpful. I had palpitations every day even if I wasn’t doing anything other than eating. It was an ordeal. I contacted a cardiologist who suggested an operation for my atrial fibrillation in 2018. Since that operation, I’m finally living again. I’m walking and doing abdominal breathing. I feel good. I’M SO GRATEFUL TO MY CARDIOLOGIST! I’m sharing my story on the Women’s Cardiovascular Healthcare Foundation website so that it can help other women.
