Heart Valve Journals Spotlight: Duane Hunt's Mitral Valve Repair
Two weeks ago, we introduced a unique website feature known as Heart Valve Journals. I'm very happy to report that the number of new journals launched - by patients and caregivers - has soared!
One of the most active patients within this new community is Duane Hunt from Winter Haven, Florida. Not only is Duane active, he is a very funny writer. Plus, Duane's friends and family are showering him with support as his Guestbook already has 175+ comments.
Duane And Peggy Hunt
Most importantly, Duane had mitral valve repair surgery due to mitral valve regurgitation... yesterday!!!
Peggy, Duane's wife, has done a great job keeping everybody updated as Dr. Kevin Accola, M.D. of the AdventHealth Cardiovascular Institute (formerly Florida Hospital) was able to successfully repair Duane's valve.
Keep on tickin' Duane!
