As I recently wrote in my blog [1] “Trust Me… You are NOT Alone”, heart valve surgery impacts all different types of people (age, sex, religion).
Some of the most public people to have heart surgery include [2] Teppo Numminen, Ronny Turiaf.
In March, Holy Cross men’s basketball coach Ralph Willard underwent successful open-heart surgery. Willard plans to resume his full coaching duties shortly, following his recovery.
Willard’s [3] Cleveland Clinic Heart Center. Willard, 62, spent nine days in the hospital before returning home to continue his recovery.
Keep on tickin!
