Episode Description
Fresh off an abrupt diagnosis that throws his life into disarray, Bill Fitzpatrick is admitted to the hospital to receive a stent.
Fitzpatrick guides the audience into a frantic hospital scene that ultimately results in a discharge home, though more health obstacles remain in his way outside the four walls of the hospital.
His family provides an intimate look at the fear and uncertainty that accompanies a heart disease diagnosis and how perilous the road to recovery looks.
Dr. Rohit Vuppuluri, a cardiologist based in Chicago, details the clinical process behind a coronary angioplasty and how stents are used to treat blocked arteries.
Dr. Suzanne Steinbaum, a preventative cardiologist, spokesperson for Go Red for Women initiative through the American Heart Association and founder of Adesso, a heart prevention and wellness program for women, talks about what the recovery timeline looks like for patients who receive treatment for heart disease.
MM+M, in conjunction with Cardiology Advisor, presents Me and My Heart, a special four-part podcast series delving into Fitzpatrick’s turbulent patient journey, the persistence of heart disease and issues surrounding access to care in America.
