Patient Experiences

Julia Brokmeyer, SCAD patient

Just a week shy of her 44th birthday, Julia Brokmeyer of Southern Pines was lying very seriously ill in a hospital bed. Days earlier, she had had a rare type of heart attack caused by a serious and unexpected condition.

Pat Spears, Aortic Valve Replacement Patient

Pat Spears, who had been relatively healthy his entire life, was told he had an aortic valve problem and that the valve would need to be replaced as quickly as possible. Because his valve had hardened and was 70 percent blocked, there was no time to waste.

Scott, Rockingham, NC, Heart Stent Patient

Reid Heart Center, providing area patients with one of the best heart programs in the world.

Thomas Butler, Valve in Valve TAVR Patient

Retired preacher, Thomas Butler's failing heart is now beating strong, thanks to a rarely used procedure to replace a leaking heart valve. Butler, 63, was born with a narrowing of the aorta above the heart, meaning his heart had to work harder to pump oxygen-rich blood to the rest of the body.

Don Deberry, TMR patient

Though only in his 50s, Don Deberry used to wake up with a racing, "quivering" heart, a symptom of his angina. A new procedure performed at Reid Heart Center changed his life. Deberry was the first Reid Heart Center patient to have a transmyocardial revascularization (TMR).
