Comments on: Mayo Clinic and WomenHeart educate women with heart disease http://sharing.mayoclinic.org/2009/10/24/mayo-clinic-and-womenheart-educate-women-with-heart-disease/ Stories from patients, family, friends and Mayo Clinic staff Mon, 13 Feb 2012 15:50:02 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Kay Keglovits http://sharing.mayoclinic.org/2009/10/24/mayo-clinic-and-womenheart-educate-women-with-heart-disease/#comment-11670 Kay Keglovits Wed, 31 Aug 2011 16:50:55 +0000 http://sharing.mayoclinic.org/?p=2882#comment-11670 I was astounded when I read the article in the Wall Street Journal 8/30/11. I had a brain dissection in the right interior carotid about ten years ago with 90% blockage. Through the incredible good judgment of Gregory Pearl, M. D. at Baylor Dallas I am now 76 and having a good time. There is no residual evidence of this phenomenon. I had no factors to support the occurrence and continue to exercise regularly and eat a healthy diet as I always did. An interesting factor is that I have MCTD (CREST). Since I have one living daughter and eight granddaughters I would gladly permit use of my records and history in search for the cause of this scary horror. My access to incredible doctors saved my life big time. I am grateful to them. I was astounded when I read the article in the Wall Street Journal 8/30/11.

This made me nostalgic for last year when I attended the Symposium - as Sharonne says in this wonderful video, it was truly a life-altering experience for me. Keep up the great work and THANK YOU on behalf of women everywhere (yes, even in Canada!) :-) hugs Carolyn Thomas Mayo '08 grad Fabulous job, Traci!

I would love to be involved with the symposium in the future. Wishing you all continued success! This is truly inspirational and awareness of heart disease in women has been overlooked for too long.
