Imperfect Heart: Stories of Myocardial Bridges


Overview

This book reveals a solution for your unexplained heart attack-like symptoms - chest pain, shortness of breath, pain in the neck, back or jaw. It's not just stress. Something's wrong. There's hope. In these pages you'll find an in-depth exploration of a potentially life-threatening congenital heart condition known as a myocardial bridge, a condition present in roughly one in four people, though only a small percentage experience symptoms. The author, who has firsthand experience with the condition and its surgical treatment, provides a unique perspective on living with and overcoming this often misunderstood malady. Drawing from transcripts of the podcast of the same name, the book includes compelling interviews with leading cardiac surgeons specializing in the controversial ""unroofing"" procedure, as well as stories from patients who have undergone the surgery. Together, these narratives paint a comprehensive picture of the procedure's success and its life-changing, potentially life-saving effects on those treated. Beyond personal and patient stories, the book challenges traditional medical approaches to diagnosing and treating myocardial bridges. It advocates for a shift in how the medical community views this condition, aiming to improve diagnosis and treatment options while offering hope to those struggling with symptoms. With its blend of personal insight, expert commentary, and patient experiences, this book seeks to educate, inspire, and transform the conversation around myocardial bridges.

Many of my patients with myocardial bridges are very well educated on the condition and I think part of that is because of your podcast. Dr. Samit Shah Yale University Medical Center It's nice to have the support of someone so positive and to hear all the positive stories you produce. It helps more than you know. You're a hero. You've made such a difference to so many. Myself included. K.S. California I'm crying. You are a rock star. Thank you. S.M. California I love that you are building the platform. You have provided so much helpful information and there are still so many people to reach and information to share. I am thankful for your work, as I know countless others will be as well. V.T.

Professor Theodoros Kofidis Hygeia Hospital, Greece Please keep going with your efforts to educate people on this condition. For me the information and interviews you have done could be life-saving.

Thanks for all your hard work. I really appreciate it and think it will have a great impact. Dr. Husam Balkhy University of Chicago Medical Center
