There’s hope.In these pages you’ll find an in-depth exploration of a potentially life-threatening congenital heart condition known as a myocardial bridge, a condition present in roughly one in four people, though only a small percentage experience symptoms. The author, who has firsthand experience with the condition and its surgical treatment, provides a unique perspective on living with and overcoming this often misunderstood malady.Drawing from transcripts of the podcast of the same name, the book includes compelling interviews with leading cardiac surgeons specializing in the controversial 'unroofing' procedure, as well as stories from patients who have undergone the surgery. Together, these narratives paint a comprehensive picture of the procedure’s success and its life-changing, potentially life-saving effects on those treated.Beyond personal and patient stories, the book challenges traditional medical approaches to diagnosing and treating myocardial bridges. It advocates for a shift in how the medical community views this condition, aiming to improve diagnosis and treatment options while offering hope to those struggling with symptoms.With its blend of personal insight, expert commentary, and patient experiences, this book seeks to educate, inspire, and transform the conversation around myocardial bridges.
