One Story...
Despite discovering moderate blockage in her heart after a routine test, Melodee went back to her normal lifestyle of long work hours and regular gym visits. Her body kept telling her something was wrong, though. Sometime later, she woke up feeling extremely tired and anxious. A trip to the hospital and an angiogram test later found a 99 percent blockage in one of her arteries which required angioplasty.
Like the vast majority of American women, Melodee was uninformed of her risk of heart disease and unable to recognize the warning signs. Melodee never ignores her body’s warning signals now. And she is committed to encouraging women to become advocates for their own health.
