"Dress Smart For A Healthy Heart" Fashion Show Puts Face On Heart Disease In The Community |
 UTHSCSA, San Antonio, TX - February 20, 2009
Both of her parents had heart disease. But Laurie Tran never thought much about her own risk until she felt an unfamiliar tightness in her chest during a run one day and saw her heart rate spike.
She went in for tests and then consulted with cardiothoracic surgeons and Steven R. Bailey, M.D., chief of cardiology at The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. She was offered a choice between open-heart surgery or angioplasty and stents. She had five stents put in just before Christmas.
Tran is one of 10 women participating in the third annual "Dress Smart for a Healthy Heart" fashion show, which will be held at 2:30 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 27, in the Health Science Center's auditorium. The fashion show and the reception afterward are free and open to the public. Full Story. | |
