Heart Disease Stories:
Site Visitors Share Their Experiences

We all learn from the experiences of others.

That's the reason for the Heart Disease Stories section of the website... it's an opportunity for sharing and helping.

What can you share?

  • What were the first signs you had a problem?
  • How was your health previously?
  • What were your risk factors?
  • Did you have a heart attack? Surgery? Complications?
  • Did you go to cardiac rehab?
  • How long did it take for you recover? How are you doing now?
  • What changes did you make in your lifestyle?
  • Have you overcome a particular challenge? What challenges do you continue to experience?
  • Where did/are you getting the most support?
  • What has your situation taught you?
  • What advice can you give to others?

Your story will be posted below, and possibly on the home page along with others already there. That way, site visitors can read about the things you and others have gone through to learn how to live successfully with heart disease.

Knowing you are not alone can be an important part of recovery.
