Ronda Hazell's story started in June 2024 when an echocardiogram showed she had a dilated ascending aorta (a dilation is a bulge where the diameter of the aorta gets bigger when it is more than 1.5 times normal size it is called an aneurysm).
This is a life-threatening medical condition because larger aneurysms can rupture or dissect. Aortic disease is linked to problems with the aortic valve of the heart.
Ronda has regular check-ups with a cardiologist to monitor her heart and aneurysm size.
Finding good medical help was difficult but it is there.
Having the issues she's been facing discussed will help more of women find good medical diagnosis and help.
Heart disease for women is different.
SewDoItForHeart25 is a way to showcase people in the sewing community who integrate hearts into their projects to raise awareness that heart disease for women exists and is different.
