Enjoying Life Despite Heart Failure, Memorial Prepares Chevon for Transplant
Paola feared she’d lose her husband Chevon, who was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy and was in severe heart failure.
Memorial’s heart failure team led by Ioana Dumitru, MD, Chevon’s cardiologist, and I-wen Wang, MD, Chevon’s cardiac surgeon, determined that a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) would stop Chevon’s decline and give him time to get stronger for a heart transplant.
Today, Chevon has made remarkable improvement and eagerly awaits his new heart. Learn more at MHS.net/HeartFailure.
