Sydney's Story
When 32 year old Sydney’s heart unexpectedly failed, over 50 team members across Rochester Regional Health came together to save her life. She has since made a remarkable recovery.
Ray's Story
Ray, 73, an Upstate New York boxing legend, was shoveling gravel at his son’s home near Seneca Lake when he felt a burning pain in his chest and had trouble breathing.
Recognizing the signs of a cardiac emergency, his local doctors sent him to Rochester General Hospital, where a gurney was waiting for him. Ray had suffered multiple heart attacks caused by a severe blockage—over 90%—in one of his arteries. Hear how the team at Rochester General Hospital gave Ray a second chance.
Wanda's Story
As the youngest to receive a Tricvalve implant in the Americas, Wanda suffered from tricuspid regurgitation which caused her to suffer from major fatigue, swelling, nausea, and trouble breathing. Thanks to Dr. Hall and the Structural Heart Program at the Sands-Constellation Heart Institute, Wanda has improved significantly and can walk, eat, and sleep better. She looks forward to being able to live a longer and healthier life.
