I was 6 months pregnant with my second child when everything changed.
When her pregnancy caused alarming symptoms dismissed by local doctors, a young mother sought care at Temple Heart & Vascular Institute, where our specialists quickly diagnosed her with peripartum cardiomyopathy, a rare heart condition. Temple’s team provided essential treatment and coordinated with her local providers for a safe delivery. Inspired by Temple’s compassionate care, she is now pursuing nursing, determined to help others advocate for their health.
