| July 20- Cindy Valenti-Scinto-Cindy was a healthy 40-year-old woman living in Spokane, Washington. Not overweight, no high cholesterol, no high blood pressure, non-smoker, organic, mostly vegetarian diet, no family history of heart disease—the doctors saw no reason to be concerned about her heart. Yet after that first heart attack, she endured 32 heart catheterizations, 11 stents, two open-heart surgeries, and a thoracotomy that was part of an experimental program to grow new vessels around Cindy’s heart. All this occurred in only three years. In May of 2005, she was placed on the heart transplant list after surviving cardiac arrest two times. With 70 people here in the Northwest waiting for a heart, the transplant surgeon estimated it would be nine months to a year before one became available. Her time was short. Don’t miss the rest of this exciting, inspirational story and discover how Cindy is doing today. She has written A Heart Like Mine, Finding God’s Will For Your Life, and you can read more about her at www.cindyscinto.com. |
