About Me (In My Own Words)
The Echo cardiogram with contrast revealed this problem after I had trouble shaking a lung congestion condition and chest tightness and back pain, and other symptoms. I was referred by my Primary physician, Dr. Brian Cady, to the Bluhm Cardiovascular Institute of Northwestern Medical Center Chicago in September, 2018 to Dr. James Flaherty, MD, my Cardiologist. After further procedures and tests, I was referred to Dr. S. Chris Malaisrie who is my Cardiac Surgeon. I met with him on November 6th and learned of my diagnosis and treatment: open heart surgery on January 14th, 2019, for Aortic Valve Replacement and Repair, and also Aortic aneurysm replacement.
