My grandfather is why I care about heart health. About two years ago my grandfather had a quadruple bypass heart operation, where he had his aortic valve replaced. His problem was discovered after telling his doctor that he had been short of breath. After some testing, he was immediately taken to the hospital for an echocardiogram. If this issue was detected later, it would have developed into something far worse. Thanks to great doctors and surgeons, my grandpa is feeling better than ever today. Unfortunately, not everyone has the same outcome with heart disease. The American Heart Association is working to fix this major issue, and all donations help this cause.
