How to Keep Your Heart Pumping!

Approximately 6 million Americans live with heart failure and about 1 out of 5 older adults may develop heart failure in their lifetime, including viewer Tammy.

The 51-year-old breast cancer survivor shares that she always led an active lifestyle, which included going to the gym, hiking, and fishing. When she began experiencing shortness of breath and fatigue she made an appointment with her oncologist and was then referred to a cardiologist. To her surprise, she was diagnosed with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, or HFrEF. Her condition became so serious she was hospitalized and put on the transplant list.

The Doctors are joined in studio by Cardiologist Dr. Richard Wright and Tammy to discuss the signs and symptoms of heart failure, the conditions that can elevate someone's risk and lifestyle changes that can help manage the heart. For more information visit https://www.KeepItPumping.com.
