Beating the Odds: Two Women Fight Heart Disease
In 2009, a short walk for Constance Vela while
vacationing in Europe turned into a battle for
air. With each step that she took, she became
more out of breath. Having been to multiple
physicians over the years with the same complaints
of shortness of breath and chest pain,
Mrs. Vela had been diagnosed with angina.
But her medications provided no relief, and
nobody suggested any further testing.
When she returned home from her trip,
her sister, Agnes, insisted that she make an
appointment to be evaluated by a cardiologist
at Winthrop. Agnes had recently seen Kevin
Marzo, MD, Chief of the Division of
Cardiology at Winthrop, an accomplished
interventional cardiologist skilled in all aspects
of vascular interventions, give a lecture at a
community event about the symptoms of heart
disease in women, and she knew that her sister
had exhibited many of those same symptoms.
