Congestive heart failure left Theresa short of breath on a daily basis, but thanks to a donor heart, she now enjoys a life without limitations

Theresa's congestive heart failure was causing her heart to work overtime, leaving her short of breath and unable to easily perform household tasks, let alone keep up with her young grandchildren. She turned to the Temple Advanced Heart Failure team for help. The team managed her condition until she received a donor heart that turned her condition around.
