Heart Valve Journals Spotlight: Duane Hunt's Mitral Valve Repair

By Adam Pick on January 29, 2010

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.

To learn more about Duane and his surgery, please visit Duane's Heart Valve Journal by clicking here.

Keep on tickin' Duane!
