Receiving a heart disease diagnosis throws you into a winding journey of information. Suddenly there’s a lot to catch up on, and while this can seem daunting at first, you start to find a rhythm as you learn. Our talk today focuses on what is helpful to know earlier in the journey so you can ease into a rhythm of your own more quickly.

Welcome to Living with Heart Disease, a Heart of a Giant production. Is it possible to live a longer quality of life after a heart disease diagnosis? Listen to the patients, support systems, and care providers who have resolved to become healthier. Join host Somaneh Bouba as we share the challenges and triumphs. Discover what it really means to survive and thrive with a heart condition.

Today’s main guest is Melany Pertile. Melany is the mind and motivator behind the Instagram page @heartfailuregroup. Her positive and humorous perspective towards her heart disease diagnosis helps build hope for herself and others. She talks about her belief in self-advocacy for getting proper care, and the importance of having advocates in your support system.

Melany is one of the Heart Patients that will be sharing their real-life stories in a series of unfiltered conversations with inspiring voices. Each person talks about their unique stories, and shares their commitment to heart health and how they commemorate resilience in the face of adversity.

Similar to her brighter take on heart disease, Melany poses the idea to rebrand “Heart Failure” into “Heart Disco”. We discuss ejection fraction measurements, assessments for an earlier diagnosis, and staying physically active. Expressing information about heart disease is a constant education, and constant conversation. Listen to this episode to hear terms you should know early in your diagnosis, what it means to communicate with care providers as an advocate, and creating a new relationship with life after a diagnosis.
