Every Sunday, Scott and Quyen, his childhood sweetheart, who later became his wife, came to Viet’s house in Medford, Mass., and took Viet and his sister Chau out for breakfast sandwiches. Scott taught Viet how to ride a bike. He checked in on him at every family gathering. He became a role model for Viet, setting an example as a hardworking home builder, husband and father of three.\r\n\r\nSo, when Scott was diagnosed with Stage 4 gastrointestinal cancer in July 2022, and died of the illness at the age of 49 in March 2023, the loss rocked Viet and his family. But on April 15, they’re taking their next steps forward together — at the 128th Boston Marathon®.\r\n\r\nIn memory of Scott and to honor the care he received at Mass General Cancer Center’s \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fcancer-center\u002Ftreatments-and-services\u002Fgastrointestinal-cancers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ETucker Gosnell Center for Gastrointestinal Cancers,\u003C\u002Fa\u003E Viet, Chau and Quyen are all running to raise funds for \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fchildren\u002Fcancer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EMass General for Children\u003C\u002Fa\u003E’s pediatric cancer research. The family hopes their efforts make it possible for children with cancer to have access to the same leading-edge treatments that Scott received.\r\n\r\n“It’s a really positive thing for all of us to run this race together, in the hardest year we’ve ever experienced as a family,” says Viet, who, at 27 years old, recently earned a master’s degree in mathematical finance from Boston University. He now works at Fidelity Investments in the firm’s Boston office. “This shows that we can push through grief and be positive and live life to the fullest. What I want is to make sure Scott’s memory lives on through us and his kids.”\r\n\u003Ch2\u003EFrom Refugee to Role Model\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nScott came from Vietnam to the U.S. in the early 1980s as a refugee. After settling in Philadelphia with his family, Scott came to Boston during high school to work for Viet’s dad at his residential construction company. Viet was born when Scott was in college at Northeastern University, and he has fond memories of Scott and Quyen living at his house before they moved into their own place.\r\n\r\n“He was a really great man,” Viet says. “He married the love of his life, they raised three beautiful children, and he went out and built his own hardwood flooring business over the course of 25 years. But Scott’s biggest motivation was to take care of all of us. It was inspiring for me, growing up and seeing someone prioritize the right things, like caring for his family and making an impact on the community.”\r\n\r\nWhen Scott was diagnosed, Viet says that his care team at \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fcancer-center\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EMass General Cancer Center\u003C\u002Fa\u003E did everything they could do to treat his cancer. But, given the advanced nature and progression of Scott’s illness, their care eventually transitioned to focus on Scott’s quality of life for his terminal illness, and on comforting the family.\r\n\r\n“What stands out for me is the support the Mass General Cancer Center team gave to me and family, giving us that time to just be with Scott,” Viet says. “I’ll forever be grateful that we could spend his final few minutes with him.

When Viet ran the New York Marathon in November 2023, Quyen, who works for Mass General Brigham, sent him information about the hospital’s \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fgiving.massgeneral.org\u002Fevents\u002Fmass-general-marathon-team\u002F\"\u003EBoston Marathon team.\u003C\u002Fa\u003E He signed up right away.\r\n\r\n“The care that Scott received at Mass General Cancer Center was second to none, so I knew we’d be supporting a wonderful cause,” Viet says. “This is the best hospital for people looking to get any kind of treatment, and I hope the money we raise helps outcomes for kids with pediatric cancer.”\r\n\r\nThe marathon will be a little more than a year after Scott’s death. Viet remembers one of Scott’s dying wishes was for the Tran-Nguyen family to stick together and look out for each other, so running alongside Chau and Quyen from Hopkinton to Boylston Street seems like a natural way to fulfill that wish.\r\n\r\n“I’m looking forward to that sense of euphoria that comes with running and seeing the crowds,” Viet says. “We’re doing something that’s very difficult, but having family, friends and the people in my life supporting me, my sister and Quyen is going to be an amazing experience.”\r\n\r\n\u003Cem\u003EIf you would like to support Viet, please visit his \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.givengain.com\u002Fproject\u002Fviet-raising-funds-for-massachusetts-general-hospital-66710\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003Efundraising page.\u003C\u002Fa\u003E\u003C\u002Fem\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cem\u003ETo learn more about Mass General’s marathon team, \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fgiving.massgeneral.org\u002Fevents\u002Fmass-general-marathon-team\u002F\"\u003Eclick here.\u003C\u002Fa\u003E\u003C\u002Fem\u003E",post_title:"Running in the Family",post_excerpt:"In memory of his cousin Scott, Viet Tran is running the Boston Marathon® with his sister and Scott’s wife to raise funds for pediatric cancer research at Mass General for Children.",post_status:g,comment_status:e,ping_status:e,post_password:a,post_name:"running-in-the-family",to_ping:a,pinged:a,post_modified:"2024-03-27 13:03:07",post_modified_gmt:"2024-03-27 17:03:07",post_content_filtered:a,post_parent:c,guid:"https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002F?p=1072270",menu_order:c,post_type:v,post_mime_type:a,comment_count:f,filter:d,acf:{hide_donate_button:b,hide_primary_navigation:b,hide_footer_donate_now:b,hide_from_search:b,enable_override:b,expire_url_redirect:a,GlobalComponentsEditor:b,story_type:{term_id:cc,name:eg,slug:ew,term_group:c,term_taxonomy_id:cc,taxonomy:U,description:a,parent:c,count:ex,filter:d},where_to_give:[{term_id:bf,name:cd,slug:ce,term_group:c,term_taxonomy_id:bf,taxonomy:t,description:dm,parent:c,count:dn,filter:d},{term_id:cs,name:mF,slug:mG,term_group:c,term_taxonomy_id:cs,taxonomy:t,description:mH,parent:c,count:fN,filter:d}],how_to_give:b,template:M,cta_selector:[{ID:1071178,post_author:aa,post_date:"2024-02-06 14:05:39",post_date_gmt:"2024-02-06 19:05:39",post_content:a,post_title:mI,post_excerpt:a,post_status:g,comment_status:e,ping_status:e,post_password:a,post_name:"how-to-give-cta-copy-copy",to_ping:a,pinged:a,post_modified:"2024-02-06 14:19:19",post_modified_gmt:"2024-02-06 19:19:19",post_content_filtered:a,post_parent:c,guid:"https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002F?post_type=cta&p=1071178",menu_order:c,post_type:ev,post_mime_type:a,comment_count:f,filter:d}],hero_style:ag,key_takeaways:b,story_sidebar_logo:b,cta_sidebar:b,page_selector:a},image:"https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002Fviet-banner.jpg",link:"https:\u002F\u002Fgiving.massgeneral.org\u002Fstories\u002Frunning-in-the-family\u002F",category:[{term_id:bm,name:dv,slug:dw,term_group:c,term_taxonomy_id:bm,taxonomy:dx,description:a,parent:c,count:cK,filter:d,acf:b}],where_to_give:[{term_id:bf,name:cd,slug:ce,term_group:c,term_taxonomy_id:bf,taxonomy:t,description:dm,parent:c,count:dn,filter:d,acf:{related_tag_page:{ID:hd,post_author:ab,post_date:he,post_date_gmt:hf,post_content:a,post_title:cd,post_excerpt:a,post_status:g,comment_status:e,ping_status:e,post_password:a,post_name:ce,to_ping:a,pinged:a,post_modified:hg,post_modified_gmt:hh,post_content_filtered:a,post_parent:av,guid:hi,menu_order:hj,post_type:m,post_mime_type:a,comment_count:f,filter:d},related_donate_page:b,related_contact_page:b,related_tag_link_type:m,related_donate_link_type:dc,related_contact_link_type:m,related_donate_link:{title:hk,url:hl,target:a}}},{term_id:cs,name:mF,slug:mG,term_group:c,term_taxonomy_id:cs,taxonomy:t,description:mH,parent:c,count:fN,filter:d,acf:{related_tag_link_type:m,related_tag_page:{ID:1058282,post_author:ab,post_date:"2021-06-16 13:33:00",post_date_gmt:"2021-06-16 17:33:00",post_content:"\u003Cspan class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW36952027 BCX0\"\u003EMass General excels in connecting clinical care with research, which makes it the ideal place to bring new discoveries and treatments from the lab bench to the bedside.

After a series of abnormal blood tests and scans, she was called in to the hospital for a meeting with her future oncology team. “The first person who walked into the room was Dr. David Ryan, and he calmly said, ‘You have stage three pancreatic cancer, and we have a clinical trial we’d like to enroll you in,’” Linda recalls. “I’m not sure I heard much after that.”\r\n\r\nBeing from the greater Boston area, Linda knew she would receive high-quality, compassionate care at Mass General. She went home and asked friends and family about the reputations of her cancer care team: \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fdoctors\u002F17127\u002Fdavid-ryan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EDavid Ryan, MD,\u003C\u002Fa\u003E Chief of Hematology and Oncology and Clinical Director of Mass General Cancer Center, \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fdoctors\u002F17595\u002Fted-hong\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ETed Hong, MD\u003C\u002Fa\u003E, Director of Gastrointestinal Radiation and \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fdoctors\u002F16840\u002Fcarlos-fernandez-del-castillo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ECarlos Fernandez-del Castillo, MD,\u003C\u002Fa\u003E Director of the \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fsurgery\u002Fgastrointestinal-and-oncologic-surgery\u002Ftreatments-and-services\u002Fpancreas-and-biliary-surgery\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EPancreas and Biliary Surgery Program\u003C\u002Fa\u003E.

She now only returns to the hospital for check-ins every three months. Linda credits the work of Drs. Ryan, Hong, and Fernandez-del Castillo with her incredible recovery.\r\n\r\nAfter being successfully treated, Linda and her husband wanted to find a way to thank her care team, and to help provide other patients with the positive treatment experience she’d had. Now cancer-free, she is funding the very same clinical trial that treated her cancer, allowing her doctors to continue the analysis of the results of the trial for an additional three years.\r\n\u003Ch2\u003ESupport from All Areas\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nLinda’s treatment at Mass General involved providers from across the hospital — oncologists, surgeons, radiologists, nurses, physical therapists, dietitians and acupuncturists. “It was so wonderful to have all of these amazing services right there where I was receiving treatment. All of the folks that helped care for me were unfailingly kind and thoughtful,” she says.\r\n\r\n“It’s difficult to express this adequately, but I am so incredibly grateful for the high-quality and consistently excellent care I received at Mass General,” she adds. “Every single person I interacted with, even those just stepping in for a moment to help, were thoughtful, attentive, professional and exceptionally good at what they do. They always made me feel taken care of in ways that I know helped me to focus on getting through the difficult times.” Linda is especially grateful to her infusion nurse, Kristin Copenheaver-Smith, RN, who was an integral member of her care team from chemotherapy all the way to immunotherapy infusions, and Melissa Woolwine, NP, of the \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fcancer-center\u002Ftreatments-and-services\u002Fgastrointestinal-cancers\u002Fteam\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EGastrointestinal Cancers Treatment Team\u003C\u002Fa\u003E, who met with Linda throughout treatment to provide information and support.\r\n\u003Ch2\u003EA Chance to Say Thank You\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nBefore being diagnosed with cancer, Linda began her journey as a Mass General donor giving annually to the \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fgiving.massgeneral.org\u002Fwhere-to-give\u002Fthe-mgh-fund\u002F\"\u003EMGH Fund,\u003C\u002Fa\u003E and as a member of the \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fgiving.massgeneral.org\u002Fwhere-to-give\u002Fthe-mgh-fund\u002Fthe-1811-society\u002F\"\u003E1811 Society.\u003C\u002Fa\u003E After receiving compassionate, personalized care from her team of nurses while in treatment, Linda made a gift to \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fcancer-center\u002Feveryday-amazing\u002Fcaring-for-a-cure\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ECaring For A Cure,\u003C\u002Fa\u003E a nurse-led program at Mass General that aims to improve the journey of patients and families being treated for cancer through research, resources and awareness.

Jenessa recalls the impact of being able to attend lectures at Mass General and Harvard Medical School and to learn of the many different paths she could take to pursue a career in researching health disparities. “I’m interested in understanding the mechanics behind why certain diseases disproportionately affect minority groups, in understanding what’s happening in the body,” she says.\r\n\r\nJenessa explains the impact of listening to researchers of diverse backgrounds discussing their work, and especially other Black female scientists. “I really believe that if you’re the smartest person in the room, you’re in the wrong room,” Jenessa says. “So, while I wasn’t able to understand everything speakers discussed, it was amazing exposure to all of the possibilities in front of me.”\r\n\u003Ch2\u003EA Vision for the Future\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nThrough her internship, Sarisha found herself drawn to the role of practicing clinician, something she hadn’t previously thought she wanted to do.\r\n\u003Cblockquote\u003E\"Watching Dr. Moura, a fellow woman of color, interact with patients of different backgrounds, dealing with different diagnoses, and treating them all with so much respect and compassion was beyond inspiring, and confirmed for me that this is what I want to do.”\u003C\u002Fblockquote\u003E\r\nSarisha says shadowing Dr. Moura at her clinic was the moment she knew she wanted to pursue a career as a clinician. “I didn’t expect to have an ‘aha moment,” Sarisha explains, “but watching Dr. Moura, a fellow woman of color, interact with patients of different backgrounds, dealing with different diagnoses, and treating them all with so much respect and compassion was beyond inspiring, and confirmed for me that this is what I want to do.”\r\n\r\nSarisha recalls a particularly impactful moment when Dr. Moura had to deliver the news of an epilepsy diagnosis to a young patient, whose mother began to cry — not because of the news of her child’s diagnosis, she said, but because she was overwhelmed by Dr. Moura’s kindness.\r\n\r\nFor Aya, Jenessa and Sarisha, participating in Mass General’s Youth Neurology Education and Research Program made a deep impact on their paths forward — helping confirm their passions while strengthening their skills and building their networks for success.\r\n\r\n\u003Cem\u003ETo learn more about how you can support the Youth Neurology Education and Research Program, please \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fgiving.massgeneral.org\u002Fcontact\u002F?route_to=Tara+Brady&about=Youth Neurology Education and Research Program\"\u003Econtact us\u003C\u002Fa\u003E.\u003C\u002Fem\u003E",post_title:"Youth Neurology Program Inspires Students to Pursue Their Passions",post_excerpt:"Students in Mass General’s Youth Neurology Education and Research Program learn and work alongside esteemed clinicians, researchers and peer mentors, giving them the chance to explore future career options in neurology.",post_status:g,comment_status:e,ping_status:e,post_password:a,post_name:"youth-neurology-program-inspires-students-to-pursue-their-passions",to_ping:a,pinged:a,post_modified:"2024-03-29 12:32:33",post_modified_gmt:"2024-03-29 16:32:33",post_content_filtered:a,post_parent:c,guid:"https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002F?p=1072238",menu_order:c,post_type:v,post_mime_type:a,comment_count:f,filter:d,acf:{hide_from_search:b,hide_donate_button:b,hide_primary_navigation:b,hide_footer_donate_now:b,enable_override:b,template:M,expire_url_redirect:a,cta_selector:a,hero_style:ag,key_takeaways:b,story_sidebar_logo:b,cta_sidebar:b,page_selector:[{ID:1064261,post_author:nE,post_date:"2022-11-02 21:50:44",post_date_gmt:"2022-11-03 01:50:44",post_content:"Since it \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fgiving.massgeneral.org\u002Fstories\u002Fopening-new-doors-to-neurology-careers\u002F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003Elaunched\u003C\u002Fa\u003E in 2020, the \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fneurology\u002Feducation-and-training\u002Fyouth-research-and-education\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EYouth Neurology Education and Research Program\u003C\u002Fa\u003E at \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EMassachusetts General Hospital\u003C\u002Fa\u003E focuses on increasing diversity in the neurology workforce, making the field more representative of people living with neurological disease.

These students have the chance to conduct impactful, real-world research, shadow clinical faculty in their areas of interest, hone their leadership skills, become part of a diverse professional network, and engage in longitudinal career support. Formal salaried employment reduces the financial barriers often precluding participation in a competitive internship. All interns have access to longitudinal professional development support, including help as they apply to college, graduate school, or jobs. Program staff often serve as a resource for students using LinkedIn, writing cover letters, polishing personal statements, and determining how to tactfully consider job or educational opportunities. There is also funding available to help cover career related expenses, such as standardized exams like the medical college admission test (MCAT). Beginning in 2022, all interns received food and travel stipends recognizing the added cost of in-person participation in this program.\r\n\u003Ch2\u003EEvolving to Eliminate Barriers\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nProgram director \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fdoctors\u002F18517\u002Fnicte-mejia-gonzalez\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ENicte Mejia, MD, MPH, FAAN,\u003C\u002Fa\u003E and coordinators work directly with students to proactively identify their goals, needs and concerns, and continually tailor program offerings based on what they learn.\r\n\r\nAs she prepared for 2022 as the program’s first in-person year, Sarah Micucci, former program coordinator who is now a medical student, noted that many internship applicants were expressing concerns about not having workplace-appropriate attire. With this feedback, Sarah reached out to second-hand clothing stores in the community, ultimately partnering with Thrifty Threads in Brookline, to gather clothes donations appropriate for the incoming group of summer interns.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1064270\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"350\"]\u003Cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-1064270\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn3.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002Fclothes-donation.jpg\" alt=\"A room filled with clothes donations for program participants seeking workplace-appropriate attire.\" width=\"350\" height=\"174\" \u002F\u003E A room filled with clothes donations for program participants seeking workplace-appropriate attire.[\u002Fcaption]\r\n\r\n“This program helped remove the indirect cost of trying to learn — it allowed me to stop thinking about outside worries and just focus on going to work and making a positive impact,” says Adam Khanboubi, an undergraduate participant in the program.

The 88 interns who participated in this program in 2020-2022 predominantly identify as female or non-binary (73%), Black, Latinx, or Indigenous (83%), immigrant (34%), and first-generation students (83%), representing communities disproportionately affected by neurologic disease and largely underrepresented in the neurology workforce. Program staff understand where they’re coming from and the obstacles they face and serve as a safe space for students to express themselves without fear of judgement.\r\n\r\nJanani Ganesh, high school program participant, explains, “I live in a community where everyone has a parent in medicine, but mine aren’t familiar with health care. So, to find community, and other people who understood my experience and what it was like to be the first person in their family to pursue medicine, was really impactful.” Janani hopes to become a neurosurgeon and work for the United Nations providing care to people in war-torn countries.

Her great-grandmother Phyllis Gaglione developed Alzheimer’s disease, and, in a short time, changed from a person she could confide in, to someone who was withdrawn and forgot Adrianna’s name. After Phyllis’ death three years ago, Adrianna has wondered what happened inside her great-grandmother’s brain. What caused the change, how it can be prevented for other patients and what can she do to help other people with Alzheimer’s?\r\n\r\nWhile Adrianna knows that neurology is not a field that has attracted many women, she is not deterred. She plans to attend Union College in New York on a full scholarship in the fall of 2021. “I find that inspiring and I like that I get to prove myself,” Adrianna says. “I feel really grateful that I had this internship. It was eye-opening and it will help me decide what I will study in college.”\r\n\r\n\u003Cem\u003ETo support the \u003Ca

Their goal was to drive ALS research toward clinical trials that would increase the spectrum of therapeutic options for patients.\r\n\r\nUntil relatively recently, translation of advances in the understanding of ALS pathophysiology was hindered by a lack of infrastructure and coordination necessary to support clinical trials. Additionally, disease heterogeneity within the patient population often precluded the identification of appropriate outcomes for trials of a given therapy.\r\n\r\nAddressing these limitations in the discovery process requires the flexibility and funding to rapidly adapt the drugs being tested to patient responses. In 2018, the launch of the Sean M.

She was 23 years old, working with children with autism and on the verge of starting graduate school. But, if her breast cancer diagnosis was a surprise, what came next was a shock wave — and one that her team deftly managed thanks to the coordination between cancer treatment and genetics at the \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fcancer-center\u002Fabout\u002Fcommunity-locations\u002Fwaltham\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ECancer Early Detection and Diagnostics Clinic\u003C\u002Fa\u003E at \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fcancer-center\u002Fabout\u002Fcommunity-locations\u002Fwaltham\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EMass General Cancer Center's Waltham location\u003C\u002Fa\u003E.\r\n\r\n“When my biopsy came back as cancer, the Mass General team was like, ‘We’ll see you tomorrow,’” says Elizabeth. “They told me I was way too young for this to happen, and they knew something else was going on.”\r\n\r\nAs part of the program’s multidisciplinary approach, Elizabeth underwent genetic testing that revealed a rare mutation — affecting about one in 200,000 people — in her PTEN gene. That gene provides instructions for making an enzyme that is found in almost all tissues in the body. The enzyme acts as a tumor suppressor, which means that it helps regulate cell division by keeping cells from growing and dividing too rapidly or in an uncontrolled way. Elizabeth’s mutation meant that she was at risk for more than the breast cancer already in her body. She was also at risk for endometrial, colon and thyroid cancer.\r\n\r\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fdoctors\u002F17464\u002Fbeverly-moy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EBeverly Moy, MD, MPH\u003C\u002Fa\u003E and the team at Mass General considered this knowledge to be power over Elizabeth’s potential illnesses. They had what they needed to come up with a plan.\r\n\r\n“Dr. Moy said to me on my first visit, ‘You and I are going to grow old together,’” Elizabeth says. “She’s been with me through it all. In that first appointment, you’re so overwhelmed, so to have someone like that at your side is awesome.”\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1066662\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"350\"]\u003Cimg class=\"wp-image-1066662 size-full\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn3.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002FElizabeth-Murphy-inline.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"410\" \u002F\u003E Elizabeth underwent 17 rounds of chemotherapy and 25 rounds of radiation to treat her breast cancer.

In Elizabeth’s case, the specific genetic makeup of her mutation had never been recorded before, so her genetic counselor took extra time to run the results and explain them to Elizabeth.\r\n\r\n“What I appreciate most about this model is our expedited access to top experts in cancer evaluation and high-risk genetics,” Dr. Moy says. “It provides the best quality care for patients like Elizabeth, since she has a coordinated approach in managing her complex cancer screening and detection needs.”\r\n\r\nElizabeth underwent 17 rounds of chemotherapy and 25 rounds of radiation to treat her breast cancer. She also had surgery to perform a double mastectomy with reconstruction and remove 24 lymph nodes.\r\n\r\n“Since my cancer was already spreading to my lymph nodes, the fact that the team jumped on it so quickly saved my life,” Elizabeth says. She was diagnosed on April 27, 2021, and her first chemotherapy infusion was a few days later on May 4.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1066666\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"220\"]\u003Cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-1066666\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn3.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002FMoyWaltham.jpg\" alt=\"Beverly Moy, MD, MPH\" width=\"220\" height=\"220\" \u002F\u003E Beverly Moy, MD, MPH[\u002Fcaption]\r\n\r\n“When I met with Dr. Moy, she said, ‘I’m throwing everything at you. You’re way too young to have to deal with this long term. I’m looking to cure you,’” Elizabeth continues. “I really appreciated her because she told everything to me straight. She told me it was going to be a very intense regimen of chemo, but it was going to stop the cancer from progressing and metastasizing. It was a huge game changer that made the difference between whether we were going to cure this or whether I was going to be dealing with it for the rest of my life.”\r\n\u003Ch2\u003E“Their priority is to take care of \u003Cem\u003Eyou\u003C\u002Fem\u003E.”\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nTo manage her risk of developing other cancers, Elizabeth has an endometrial biopsy once a year, a thyroid scan once a year and a colonoscopy every three years. She finished her active treatments for breast cancer in April 2022 and is on an oral medication to lessen her chances of a recurrence. Elizabeth also picked up her graduate school dream again: she is about to graduate from Boston College with a master’s degree in social work, only a summer behind her planned timeline.\r\n\r\nAt 23, Elizabeth often felt isolated when it came to her cancer experience — there weren’t many other young adults going through what she was. To share her experience, she participated in Mass General’s cancer mentorship program and connected with a 32-year-old who lives with the same genetic mutation. Elizabeth also hopes to volunteer with pediatric cancer patients once she finishes school.\r\n\r\n“I want others to know that they’re not alone in this,” Elizabeth says. “Finding a patient community is huge. I tell people to ask every single question that comes into your brain, because you’re not the first person to ask this question — the doctors here have heard it all. And, at the end of the day, their priority is to take care of you.”\r\n\r\n\u003Cem\u003ETo learn more about how to support the Cancer Early Detection and Diagnostics Clinic, please \u003Ca

living in southern New Hampshire when sudden chest pains changed her life forever.\r\n\r\nA successful business owner and CEO of her own recruiting firm, she was also a dedicated athlete and participant in fitness competitions. But in May 2023, she started having episodes of severe chest pain that kept getting worse. Tara was eventually diagnosed with a spontaneous coronary artery dissection, or SCAD.\r\n\r\n“It blows my mind that this happened when it did, because I was getting ready for my next fitness competition,” Tara says. She was in the best physical condition of her life.\r\n\r\nSCAD is a rare condition where the coronary artery, a major blood vessel which supplies oxygenated blood to the heart, tears without warning. This causes bleeding within the wall of the vessel and disrupts blood flow to the heart muscle. It can lead to heart attacks and cardiac arrest. It's such a rare condition that Tara had a hard time getting an accurate diagnosis and the right treatment.\r\n\r\nFortunately, she was referred to \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fdoctors\u002F18966\u002Fsarah-tsiaras\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ESarah Tsiaras, MD,\u003C\u002Fa\u003E a cardiologist at \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EMassachusetts General Hospital.\u003C\u002Fa\u003E Dr. Tsiaras is part of the \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fheart-center\u002Ftreatments-and-services\u002Fwomens-heart-health\u002Fspontaneous-coronary-artery-dissection\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ESCAD Program\u003C\u002Fa\u003E within the \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fheart-center\u002Ftreatments-and-services\u002Fwomens-heart-health\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ECorrigan Women’s Heart Health Program,\u003C\u002Fa\u003E which is one of the few centers in the country that specializes in caring for patients with SCAD.\r\n\u003Ch2\u003EUnexplained Chest Pains\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nTara’s chest pains started shortly after her family returned from vacation in May 2023. When she also started feeling a squeezing sensation of pressure in her heart, and tingling down her left arm, she went to the ER. Initial bloodwork and tests didn’t find anything wrong.\r\n\r\n“One doctor suggested it might be anxiety,\" Tara says. \"I said, ‘No disrespect, but it’s not anxiety.’ It's disturbing to me because I've met a lot of women in support groups, all different ages, with similar stories. We were written off as having anxiety, sent home because of the lack of knowledge.\"\r\n\r\nTwo days after returning home from the hospital, Tara experienced even more severe chest pains in her heart, along with shortness of breath, pain in her arm, jaw and back, sweating and fainting. An ambulance took her to another hospital.\r\n\r\nDespite a normal EKG (a test which records the heart’s electrical signals), her bloodwork showed elevated troponin levels. Troponin is a protein found in heart muscle cells. Its presence in Tara’s blood indicated that she had damaged heart muscles. Doctors performed a cardiac catheterization. They threaded a thin, flexible tube through Tara’s blood vessels to examine the heart arteries in more detail.\r\n\r\nIt was during this procedure that Tara received her life-changing diagnosis of SCAD, which had led her to have a heart attack. “I was very thankful to be alive, but also devastated with my diagnosis and this new condition,” she says.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1071582\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"220\"]\u003Cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-1071582\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn4.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002F2955.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"220\" height=\"220\" \u002F\u003E Sarah Tsiaras, MD[\u002Fcaption]\r\n\u003Ch2\u003EMass General's SCAD Program\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nTara found the SCAD Program when she began researching options to further her recovery. After her frustrating experiences trying to get a diagnosis and treatment, Tara appreciated the expertise at Mass General and felt comfortable with Dr. Tsiaras and the team.\r\n\r\n“Everything was so seamless and so organized, and I hadn't had that before. It was all so reassuring. She knew everything about me. They had talked about my case with other doctors before I even got there, and I was blown away. I just was so impressed with the level of care,” she says.\r\n\r\nAt Mass General, Tara was able to learn more about her serious new condition.\r\n\r\n“Ninety percent of SCADs occur in women who have no cardiac history and who often don’t have the traditional risk factors for coronary artery disease, like high blood pressure (hypertension), high cholesterol, diabetes, smoking or family history. The most common age is around 45 to 55, the perimenopausal years, but it can sometimes occur during the time of pregnancy as well,” says Dr. Tsiaras.\r\n\r\nThe exact causes of SCAD, and why it mostly affects otherwise-healthy women, still aren’t fully understood.\r\n\r\n“Sometimes it can be a combination of an underlying vascular abnormality compounded by an emotional stressor,\" Dr. Tsiaras explains. At Mass General, doctors screen patients with SCAD for fibromuscular dysplasia. They also offer genetic testing to some patients. “More recently, we’re starting to think there may be a polygenic component, or multiple genes interacting together, leading to an increased risk for patients,” adds Dr. Tsiaras.",post_title:iW,post_excerpt:iX,post_status:g,comment_status:e,ping_status:e,post_password:a,post_name:"taras-story",to_ping:a,pinged:a,post_modified:"2024-09-13 11:55:03",post_modified_gmt:"2024-09-13 15:55:03",post_content_filtered:a,post_parent:c,guid:"https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002F?p=1071545&preview=true&preview_id=1071545",menu_order:c,post_type:v,post_mime_type:a,comment_count:f,filter:d,acf:{hide_donate_button:b,hide_primary_navigation:b,hide_footer_donate_now:b,hide_from_search:b,enable_override:b,expire_url_redirect:a,GlobalComponentsEditor:[{acf_fc_layout:gy,twcss:a,accordion:[{question:"What are some symptoms of SCAD?",answer:"\u003Cp\u003ESymptoms are similar to a traditional heart attack and can often lead to a delay in diagnosis for patients.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\n\u003Cul\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003EChest pain\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003EPain in the jaw, shoulder or arm\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003EShortness of breath\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003EDizziness\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003ENausea\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003ESweating\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\n\u003C\u002Ful\u003E\n"},{question:"What are possible causes of SCAD?",answer:"\u003Cul\u003E\n\u003Cli\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: var(--list--font-family); background-color: var(--global--color-background); color: var(--global--color-primary); font-size: var(--global--font-size-base);\" data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor=\"\" data-darkreader-inline-color=\"\"\u003EAn underlying abnormality of the artery or blood vessel, as seen in some conditions like fibromuscular dysplasia.

Dr. Brown sees three types of patients with heart failure: patients who have heart failure but can function in their daily lives; patients in what he calls “the Goldilocks zone,” who are declining but haven’t reached the point where other organs start failing; and patients who are too debilitated to tolerate a major transplant surgery. In his eyes, too many patients were seeking care late and were unable to gain access to advanced heart failure care.\r\n\r\n“When I talked to patients in the community, they thought they weren’t good enough to go to Mass General, that the hospital and Boston itself were overwhelming,” Dr. Brown says. “We needed to build a referral pipeline from community health centers, where patients can get care close to home and make their way back to Mass General if they need access to more advanced care such as inotropic support, durable ventricular assist devices and cardiac transplant.”\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1073801\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"390\"]\u003Cimg class=\"wp-image-1073801 size-medium\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002Fkemar-brown-mg.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"390\" \u002F\u003E Kemar Brown, MD[\u002Fcaption]\r\n\r\nThanks to a Mass General community outreach grant, Dr. Brown launched a heart failure clinic at Mass General Chelsea to identify patients living with the condition, chip away at their barriers to care and provide resources that prevent hospitalizations. So far, Dr. Brown and his team have identified about 600 patients living with heart failure in Chelsea who have not yet seen a specialist. The heart failure clinic is open every Friday to provide space for those patients, and Dr. Brown — along with clinic co-founder \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fdoctors\u002F20087\u002Ferin-coglianese\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EErin Coglianese, MD\u003C\u002Fa\u003E — typically sees six to eight of these patients each day when they are there.\r\n\r\n“That’s why we’re out there, to be the boots on the ground and get them the medication and care they need. With those medications, we can reverse the negative effects on the heart,” Dr. Brown says. “Ultimately, we provide a bridge between Mass General and the community. These are patients who actively need our support.”\r\n\r\nFunds from the Mass General community outreach grant and sponsorship from the American Heart Association also helped purchase 100 blood pressure cuffs and 100 scales for the clinic, which Dr. Brown says are simple surveillance tools that can make a dramatic difference in keeping patients from being hospitalized. Since major basic, clinical, and translational studies have gross underrepresentation of Black and Hispanic populations, he is also conducting research to better understand barriers and why these groups are more prone to heart failure in the first place.\r\n\u003Ch2\u003ESpeaking Their Language\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fdoctors\u002F20758\u002Fjona-ludmir\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EJona Ludmir, MD\u003C\u002Fa\u003E, grew up speaking Spanish at home with his Peruvian family, learning English in preschool. When he joined Mass General and learned about the many Spanish speakers who live in Chelsea and East Boston, he told his colleagues he was happy to receive cardiology referrals for those who spoke the language. His clinic quickly filled up.\r\n\r\nIn those interactions, Dr. Ludmir also saw how patients received outstanding care at Mass General’s main campus immediately following heart attacks. But language barriers, gaps in health literacy and other social determinants of health — the conditions into which people are born and live that shape their health — prevented them from accessing the same quality in follow-up care.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1073801\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"390\"]\u003Cimg class=\"wp-image-1073801 size-medium\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002Fjona-ludmir.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"390\" \u002F\u003E Jona Ludmir, MD[\u002Fcaption]\r\n\r\nTo overcome those hurdles, Dr. Ludmir and his colleagues have established a Hispanic Cardiovascular Clinic to help patients navigate the complexities of cardiac care without the risk of intricacies or importance getting lost in translation. The Hispanic Clinic is staffed by Spanish-speaking patient service coordinators, medical assistants and physicians. The clinic is located in both the Mass General main campus and Chelsea.\r\n\r\nOver the last six months, the Hispanic Cardiovascular Clinic has seen more than 100 patients at both locations. They have also used those visits to screen for mental health conditions, since patients with heart disease have a higher risk of anxiety and depression, and for social determinants of health. The clinic streamlines referrals to the Mass General Hispanic Psychiatry Clinic when appropriate.\r\n\r\n“We’ve seen that satisfaction and outcomes are better when the provider and patient speak the same language,” Dr. Ludmir says. “And if we can move care into the community that needs it, then we can move care forward and make a bigger impact.\r\n\r\n“I’d love to see us replicate this model of care delivery for other important local languages, like Haitian Creole and Portuguese,” says Dr. Ludmir, who also speaks Hebrew, when thinking about the future of the program. “I would like to be able to serve everyone in their language of choice.”\r\n\u003Ch2\u003EThe Long Game\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nDr. Onuma, who previously managed programs for global cardiovascular health at the World Health Organization, sees several cardiac care parallels between underserved Boston neighborhoods and under-resourced countries around the world.\r\n\r\n“Heart disease is one of the fields of medicine where we know the most,” she says. “We’ve made so many strides over the last three to five decades in ways I don’t think other areas of medicine have been able to match. But, over time, we haven’t been able to apply these innovations equally, either here in the United States or around the globe.”\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1073801\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"390\"]\u003Cimg class=\"wp-image-1073801 size-medium\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002Foyere-onuma-md-v2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"390\" \u002F\u003E Oyere Onuma, MD[\u002Fcaption]\r\n\r\nFor Dr. Onuma, that disparity reinforces her commitment to investing in community heart health. Whether it is opening local cardiology clinics, recruiting patients for hypertension studies at barber shops, hair salons and churches, or inviting Boston Public School students to learn more about careers in cardiology, she sees Mass General making slow but steady progress in what she describes as “mission critical” work.\r\n\r\n“Sometimes it seems like we’re making a small change — but if you apply that change to thousands or even millions of people, you can see a significant impact,” she says. “And for an individual patient, what you do can make an incredible impact in the life of one person.

The two met by chance, shortly after Dr. Nicholson’s arrival at Mass General as a first-year resident, and Dr. DeSanctis would go on to become a mentor to the young doctor. Years later, following Dr. DeSanctis’ retirement from clinical practice in 2014, the two worked together closely on numerous fundraising efforts for the hospital.\u003C\u002Fem\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cem\u003EIn the following, Dr. Nicholson recalls how their first interaction affirmed his career choice and set him on the path to a lifetime in medicine.\u003C\u002Fem\u003E\r\n\r\n“My first memory of Roman DeSanctis is emblazoned on my mind. It was my first or second day at Mass General, and I was covering a 24-hour shift in the emergency room. It was a strange time for me: I'd had a terrific education at Duke Medical School, but there was nothing they could have done to prepare me for residency in Boston. And frankly, I still wasn’t sure I’d picked the right profession.\r\n\u003Cblockquote\u003E\r\n\u003Cdiv\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\r\n\u003Cb style=\"font-family: var(--global--font-secondary); font-size: var(--global--font-size-base);\"\u003E\"That interaction with Roman, it was really a burning bush moment for me. I knew at that moment, not only was I in the right profession — I was in the right place.”\u003C\u002Fb\u003E\u003C\u002Fblockquote\u003E\r\nSo that night, at two o'clock in the morning, Roman comes walking into the emergency room. He had obviously been awakened and came in without a tie. As it happened, the wife of one of his patients — an assistant baker in the North End — had called him, concerned about her husband’s shortness of breath. Roman had told her to go straight to the emergency room and that he would meet her there. The patient arrived and was transported back to room seven — a special four-bed room designated for cardiac cases — and I was assigned care of that patient. Roman walked in, never having seen me before, and despite the fact I was relatively junior, immediately started asking about my opinion on the case. He treated me just like a colleague that had been on the staff for years.\r\n\r\nNow some things never change, and that night the emergency room was very, very busy. The orderlies who would normally transport the patient to X-ray were tied up. Rather than wait, Roman said, ‘come on, let's wheel him over; we can probably get it done faster.’ And so, we did. While we waited for the X-ray, Roman kept pointing out physical findings on the exam that he thought were pertinent to coming up with a diagnosis. He was teaching the whole time.\r\n\r\nA little while later, after the patient was stabilized, he turned to me and said, ‘Brit’ — he remembered my name from our first introduction — ‘why don’t we go out and speak with his wife? I’m sure she’s very concerned.’\r\n\r\nWe went out into the waiting room, and Roman sat down with her. The first thing he did was take one of her hands in his. He said to her: ‘I just want to assure you that your husband is quite sick, but he's doing much, much better, and I'm encouraged.’ Then he explained the care plan, and turning to me, he says, ‘Now, I'll be going home, but I'm so pleased that he's going to be under the care of Dr. Nicholson.’ That was the handoff.\r\n\r\nLater that morning, after my shift, I walked home to Back Bay, where my wife and I were living at the time. I remember it clearly: it was a beautiful late June morning, and there was just a spring in my step. That interaction with Roman, it was really a burning bush moment for me.

DeSanctis, MD, believed in the power of personal interaction.\r\n\r\n“The essence and the beauty of medicine … lies in the encounter between the doctor and the patient,” he said in a speech to the \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fabout\u002Fleadership\u002Fmgpo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EMassachusetts General Hospital Physicians Organization\u003C\u002Fa\u003E in 2006.\r\n\r\nFor Dr. DeSanctis, director of Clinical Cardiology Emeritus at \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EMassachusetts General Hospital\u003C\u002Fa\u003E, every patient interaction offered a new opportunity to show he cared. And, throughout his remarkable career, whether it was in the exam rooms and hallways of Mass General, or outside the hospital walls — in the airport, the supermarket, or a late-night phone call — he made every patient interaction count. He’d stop and pause, address the person by name, ask about their health, their families, their lives, and share details of his own. But most of all, he’d listen.\r\n\r\n“As a physician, he was unparalleled, but what made him truly exceptional was his ability to put others at ease,” said Brit Nicholson, MD, senior vice president of Development. “As a cardiologist, he’d say it’s important to listen to the heart, but it’s more important to listen to the patient.”\r\n\r\nA legendary physician, mentor, teacher, leader, fundraiser and philanthropist, Dr. DeSanctis dedicated 70 years of his time, his effort, his energy and his own philanthropy in support of the Massachusetts General Hospital community. He passed away at the age of 93 at his home in Winchester, Mass. on July 8.\r\n\u003Ch2\u003EDestined for Medicine\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nThe son of Vincent DeSanctis, a tailor, and his wife, Marguerite Marini DeSanctis, Roman DeSanctis was born in 1930 in Cambridge Spring, Pennsylvania, a small town not far from the shores of Lake Erie. When he was 7 years old, the family relocated to Tucson, Arizona, where his father was recovering from tuberculosis.\r\n\r\nRoman knew from an early age that he wanted to pursue medicine. He entered college at 16 and graduated from \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fhms.harvard.edu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EHarvard Medical School\u003C\u002Fa\u003E at 24. When he arrived at Mass General in the late summer of 1955, the tall, stately DeSanctis, the son of immigrants, stood out from many of his fellow interns. It wasn’t long, however, before he distinguished himself as a natural caregiver and physician.\r\n\r\nAfter completing his residency, he was awarded a clinical and research fellowship in cardiology, where he earned the notice of Dr. Paul Dudley White, the father of modern cardiology, who would become his mentor. From there, his career path came into clear view. In 1967, he founded the MGH Coronary Care Unit and served as its director until 1981, when he was named director of Clinical Cardiology, and later became acting chief of the MGH Cardiac Division.\r\n\u003Cblockquote\u003EFor Roman DeSanctis, practicing medicine was a source of joy, and he never forgot how fortunate he was to be a physician. Even in his final years, as he watched the institution evolve in its complexity, he never lost the belief that caring for others was privilege.\u003C\u002Fblockquote\u003E\r\nThrough the years, Dr. DeSanctis was recognized with numerous awards and honors, including his election into the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Science; being named Master of the American College of Physicians; and becoming the first incumbent of the Evelyn and James Jenks\u002FPaul Dudley White Professorship of Medicine at Harvard Medical School. But throughout his career, the recognition that mattered most to Dr. DeSanctis he found in his patients.\r\n\u003Ch2\u003EMore Than a Caregiver; a Friend\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nDr. DeSanctis like to say that medicine was a calling, rather than a profession. He believed that being a physician was a privilege. And while his talents and prestige attracted a who’s who of high-profile individuals — including actor John Wayne, diplomat Henry Kissinger, Boston Celtics coach Red Auerbach and the King of Morocco, Hassan II — he cherished each and every one of the people in his care and invested himself in their wellbeing.\r\n\r\n“I have always tried to be not only a caregiver to my patients, but also a friend,” he said in a 2014 essay. And his patients reflected that warmth back at him. (On a personal note, in my six years as a writer at Mass General, the phrase I’ve heard most from donors and patients is ‘we are friends of Roman DeSanctis.’)\r\n\r\nHe took time to earn his patients’ trust; answering every question and ensuring they fully understood their individual diagnoses and care plans before leaving his office. When possible, he took patients’ blood pressure readings himself (in both arms), rather than delegating the procedure. He was a hugger. Although not a surgeon, he often attended his patients’ surgeries and called them at home to check in after they were discharged. He shared his home phone number and took their calls at all hours. He made house calls. For those he lost, he attended wakes and funerals and wrote personal condolence notes to their loved ones.\r\n\r\nThis devotion to his patients sometimes came at the expense of precious time with his family — but his wife, Ruth, and their four daughters, Ellen, Lydia, Andrea, and Marcia, made accommodations. Birthday celebrations and family events were often held first thing in the morning, so that Dr. DeSanctis could participate.\r\n\r\nFor the DeSanctis family, medicine was a family affair. His wife Ruth, who had trained as a nurse, was deeply devoted to supporting his passion for his patients and trainees. The family regularly welcomed fellows, residents and interns at their home for meals and holidays. In honor of this shared commitment, the DeSanctis family established the Ruth and Roman DeSanctis Family Endowed Cardiology Fellowship Research Fund in 2022.\r\n\r\n“There was no Roman DeSanctis, physician, without our mom,” says his daughter Lydia. “This fund was an opportunity to pay tribute to her role, which made it possible for him to provide such outstanding care for so many patients. Behind him was a family devoted and committed to supporting his passion for medicine.”\r\n\u003Ch2\u003ELeading by Example\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nAs a professor at Harvard Medical School, Dr. DeSanctis trained hundreds of cardiologists, but his teaching wasn’t just reserved for the lecture hall. He never missed an opportunity to share what he’d learned with new interns and clinicians. In 2007, he received the first MGH Trustees’ Medal, which recognizes individuals who have made a “monumental and lasting impact.”\r\n\r\n“As a clinician and educator, Dr. DeSanctis was humble, insightful, perceptive, intelligent and warm,” said Patrick Ellinor, MD, acting director cardiology. “He treated every patient and trainee as if they were his only priority, which fostered unwavering trust and fierce loyalty to him and to Mass General. In turn, this helped shape not only our division, but also our culture of mentorship.”\r\n\r\nLate in his career, with retirement on the horizon, he contacted several of his old trainees, entrusting them with the care of his long-time patients.\r\n\r\n“There was no better professional complement,” Dr. Nicholson said.\r\n\r\nAfter he retired from clinical practice in 2014, Roman partnered with the Development Office at Mass General, applying the same extraordinary compassion and curiosity that had defined him as a physician to fundraising. He continued raising money for causes he held dear — such as the training and education of future cardiologists — but he also set to himself to work to preserve the legacy and future of his beloved hospital. In 2015, after nursing his wife Ruth through late-stage Alzheimer’s, he helped secure funding for the Dementia Caregiver Support Program to assist caregivers and families.\r\n\r\n“He had a way of making people feel special, even if he’d never been their physician,” said Assistant Vice President of Development Rachel Mastone, who worked closely with Dr. DeSanctis in his final years. “I’ve never met anyone so compelled to help people.”\r\n\r\nFor Roman DeSanctis, practicing medicine was a source of joy, and he never forgot how fortunate he was to be a physician. Even in his final years, as he watched the institution evolve in its complexity, he never lost the belief that caring for others was privilege.\r\n\r\n“You will go to work every day with no other purpose than to relieve pain and suffering and to heal the sick,” Dr. DeSanctis said in a 2014 lecture to the graduating class at Harvard Medical School. “Remember that there are thousands of doctors out there, and your patients have chosen you as the custodian of their most precious assets — their health, well-being, and even their lives. This is a great honor, but it is also a huge responsibility.”\r\n\r\n\u003Cem\u003EPrior to his passing, Dr. DeSanctis expressed his wish that any gifts received in his memory be directed to the Roman and Ruth DeSanctis Family Endowed Cardiology Fellowship Research Fund.

While the 47-year-old Martha’s Vineyard resident was going about her day, her chest felt tight. She often rubbed near her shoulders to ease the discomfort. When a friend noticed, and Noli mentioned her chest pain, her friend didn’t hesitate. “Heart issues in women sometimes show up in unusual ways,” she told her. “You should get it checked out.”\r\n\r\nNoli, 47, is bright, cheerful and an unwavering advocate for making healthy food accessible to all. As the co-executive director of Island Grown Initiative (IGI), a Vineyard-based nonprofit with a mission to build a regenerative and equitable food system, she’s passionate about both health and sustainability. IGI also manages the Island Food Pantry, serving the island’s most vulnerable populations, and Noli is also a founding member of the Island Climate Action Network, a group looking at Vineyard solutions to climate change.

There, Kristie Hudson, CNP, put Noli through a series of exams, including a stress test, EKG and heart monitoring. When those tests did not yield definitive answers, a CT scan was ordered. Despite her symptoms, Noli wasn’t concerned. \u003C\u002Fspan\u003E\r\n\r\n\"I thought it was going to be something minor,” she recalls. “I expected them to say, ‘It’s just some strange thing.’”\r\n\r\nIt was something strange — something very rare. But it was not minor.\r\n\u003Ch2\u003EA Rare Heart Defect\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nNoli’s CT scan revealed a congenital heart anomaly, and doctors at MVH referred Noli to \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fdoctors\u002F18544\u002Fdoreen-defaria-yeh\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EDoreen DeFaria Yeh, MD\u003C\u002Fa\u003E, a cardiologist at \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EMassachusetts General Hospital\u003C\u002Fa\u003E and one of the nation’s leading experts on congenital heart defects. Dr. DeFaria Yeh officially diagnosed Noli with an anomalous aortic origin of the coronary artery, which occurs in 1% of the population, according to the American Heart Association. In some situations, a congenital narrowing of the artery can be fatal.\r\n\r\n“This is often a difficult diagnosis to make,” explains Dr. DeFaria Yeh. “EKGs, stress tests and rhythm monitors often appear normal. For many people, the first sign of the condition is sudden cardiac arrest.”\r\n\r\nIn other words, by the time patients find out they have this type of defect, it is often too late.\r\n\r\nNoli’s diagnosis was made possible by a state-of-the-art CT scanner at MVH, funded by a generous gift from MVH donors and grateful patients Ed and Kathy Ludwig in 2021. The Ludwigs had firsthand experience with Mass General Brigham’s coordinated, life-saving care — Ed had been diagnosed with a subdural hematoma at MVH in 2020, which led to emergency brain surgery at Mass General. In gratitude for his care, the Ludwigs made a gift to purchase the state-of-the-art scanner for MVH that would eventually diagnose Noli’s heart anomaly.\r\n\r\nDr. DeFaria Yeh credited both the scanner and Noli’s nurse practitioner and clinical team at MVH with uncovering the diagnosis that saved her life. “Otherwise healthy people like Noli can sometimes have their symptoms dismissed as anxiety or stress,” says Dr. DeFaria Yeh.\r\n\r\n“The fact that we have this incredible scanner at our small hospital, and access to some of the best medical care in the world, is amazing,” says Noli.\r\n\u003Cblockquote\u003E“We saw notes and cards from past patients thanking the doctors. People come from all over the world to see these specialists at Mass General, and here we are, living on a small island, with access to them. It’s amazing.”\u003C\u002Fblockquote\u003E\r\nDr. DeFaria Yeh had extensive conversations with Noli and her husband Isaac about the congenital anomaly, the limited data available around long-term outcomes due to the rarity of the defect and options for surgical intervention. Based on those conversations, Dr. DeFaria Yeh referred Noli to \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fdoctors\u002F22755\u002Fjordan-bloom\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EJordan Bloom, MD, MPH\u003C\u002Fa\u003E, a cardiac surgeon at Mass General.\r\n\r\n“The condition Noli was born with is rare, which means the people who perform the type of surgery Noli needed are also rare,” Dr. Bloom says. “Knowing who to operate on, and when to do it, is a real challenge — so, while it’s rare at any volume to care for these patients, my group sees a lot of them.”\r\n\r\n“Dr. Bloom was incredible,” Noli says. “He explained the surgery to correct the anomaly and reassured me that while the surgery was low risk, living with the condition wasn’t. The risk of living with it was sudden death.”\r\n\r\n“The real challenge is that heart surgery is a big deal,” Dr. Bloom explains. “You don’t want to do heart surgery on someone who doesn’t need it.” In this case, Noli was young, and otherwise healthy, but a successful surgery would put her mind at ease about a future cardiac event.\r\n\u003Ch2\u003EAn Expert Collaboration\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nDr. Bloom and a multidisciplinary panel of adult congenital heart experts at Mass General Brigham and other institutions reviewed Noli’s records together to determine whether they’d recommend surgery. Having access to other experts to lean on is helpful in making the decision whether to proceed with surgery, Dr. Bloom says, noting his mantra, “All of us are smarter than any one of us.”\r\nAfter the experts convened, Noli and Isaac had a frank conversation with Dr. Bloom.\r\n\r\n“We asked him, if this was your mother or your sister, would you recommend the surgery?” Noli says.\r\n\r\nGiven the individual characteristics of Noli’s coronary artery and her symptoms of chest discomfort, weighed against the risks of surgery, Dr. Bloom said the group wholeheartedly recommended surgically repairing the artery. Having the opinion of not just two doctors, but also the many experts across Mass General Brigham who understood her unique condition gave Noli the reassurance she needed to undergo the surgery. Noli’s surgery at Mass General was in May of 2024.\r\n\r\nThe surgery was a great success, and Dr. Bloom, who says it is in his nature to become close to his patients, recalls a wonderful post-surgery “fist-bump moment” with Noli and Isaac. Noli recovered at Mass General under the care of a top tier specialized medical team.\r\n\r\n“We saw notes and cards from past patients thanking the doctors. People come from all over the world to see these specialists at Mass General, and here we are, living on a small island, with access to them,” Noli says. “It’s amazing.”\r\n\u003Ch2\u003EVisiting Island Grown Initiative Farm\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nAfter five days in the hospital, Noli returned home to the Vineyard, where she had to take it easy — no heavy lifting, no driving. The community rallied around the Taylor family. “We didn’t have to cook for two months,” Noli says. “People brought meals, flowers, drawings from kids and offered rides for our children. It made my recovery so much easier.”\r\n\r\nNow back at work at Island Grown Initiative, Noli’s energy is returning, and she has no more symptoms of chest pain. She is grateful to resume her important work at IGI, feeding the island’s families, seeking climate change solutions as a founding member of the Island Climate Action Network and, of course, having a second chance to watch her children grow up.

Scott and Sarma — who was recently named co-director of the Women’s Heart Health program — are leading an expansion of these efforts across the Mass General Brigham network. That expansion includes reaching patients at Mass General’s various partner institutions; collaborating with the obstetrics and gynecology departments to better understand cardiovascular complications during pregnancy; and building on the program’s innovative research on \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fheart-center\u002Ftreatments-and-services\u002Fwomens-heart-health\u002Fspontaneous-coronary-artery-dissection\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003Espontaneous coronary artery dissection\u003C\u002Fa\u003E (SCAD), a common cause of heart attack in women.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1071528\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"220\"]\u003Cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-1071528\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn4.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002F3072.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"220\" height=\"220\" \u002F\u003E Nandita S.

Our program has gone a step further, with women becoming experts in sex-specific conditions and doing research and treatment to support that. The Corrigans’ support made that possible.”\r\n\r\nSince launching, the Women’s Heart Health program has grown from a dedicated staff of two to a high- performing team of 10 clinicians. In her new additional role as the director of Mass General Brigham’s Women’s Heart Health program, Dr. Scott is now taking her program on the road, meeting with leaders at Mass General Brigham hospitals across Massachusetts to determine how best to help patients. Her goals include expanding networks for referrals and research trials, virtual meetings with obstetrics clinicians to discuss high-risk patients and educational programs.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1064484\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"220\"]\u003Cimg class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-1064484\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn4.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002FPatrickEllinor-220x220.jpeg\" alt=\"Women's Heart Health\" width=\"220\" height=\"220\" \u002F\u003E Patrick Ellinor, MD, PhD[\u002Fcaption]\r\n\r\n“This approach combines the success of the Mass General program and the power of Mass General Brigham to improve outcomes for even more patients,” says \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fdoctors\u002F17248\u002Fpatrick-ellinor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EPatrick Ellinor, MD, PhD\u003C\u002Fa\u003E, acting chief of Cardiology and co-director of the Corrigan Minehan Heart Center. “We can expand our reach to help people across the region receive convenient, expert care.”\r\n\u003Ch2\u003EA Call to Action for Maternal Health\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nCardiovascular disease is the leading cause of maternal morbidity in the U.S., yet pregnant patients have traditionally been excluded from research studies. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have reported a concerning rise in the U.S. maternal mortality rate: 32.9 deaths per 100,000 live births in 2021, compared with a rate of 20.1 in 2019.\r\n\r\n“Women in the U.S. are dying of cardiac conditions during pregnancy, and that’s really a call to action for cardiologists to better manage these patients,” says Dr. Sarma, who was also recently named the Cathy E. Minehan Endowed Chair in Cardiology.\r\n\r\nTo help patients who are at risk for cardiovascular disease during pregnancy, Dr. Sarma co-directs Mass General’s Cardiovascular Disease and Pregnancy program, a top priority of the Women’s Heart Health program. Clinicians from cardiology, obstetrics and gynecology, and maternal-fetal medicine meet regularly to discuss these high-risk patients and plan for their care from pre-conception until the baby’s first birthday.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1074136\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"220\"]\u003Cimg class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-1074136\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn4.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002F4250-220x220.jpg\" alt=\"Women's Heart Health\" width=\"220\" height=\"220\" \u002F\u003E Ilona Goldfarb, MD, MPH[\u002Fcaption]\r\n\r\nBut clinical care alone isn’t enough, Dr. Sarma says, as research is needed to modernize care and delivery. In that vein, she and maternal-fetal medicine specialist \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fdoctors\u002F17633\u002Filona-goldfarb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EIlona Goldfarb, MD, MPH\u003C\u002Fa\u003E, are leading several projects to study virtual postpartum blood pressure management and virtual patient care strategies, so that mothers can receive care at home without the need to travel with a new baby.\r\n\u003Ch2\u003EUncovering SCAD\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nWhen Dr. Scott was a cardiology fellow, she was told SCAD — a tearing of the blood vessels within the heart — was so rare that she would likely never see it. But, over time, she realized that not seeing SCAD didn’t mean it wasn’t there — it meant doctors weren’t readily recognizing it.\r\n\r\nSCAD is one of the most common causes of heart attack for women in their 40s and 50s. Mass General has a large referral program for SCAD, drawing numerous patients with the condition, and is a top recruiting hospital for the International SCAD Registry — a digital data repository that advances the pace and breadth of SCAD research around the world. Both Drs. Scott and Sarma have high hopes that the Women’s Heart Health program will play a significant role in future discoveries related to the condition and women’s cardiac health in general. In addition, the program holds regular continuing medical education courses and has trainees at all stages of their careers spend time within the program, with the goal that the expertise gained at Mass General can benefit patients across the country.\r\n\r\n“The strength of the program lies in how incredible the faculty are,” Dr. Sarma says. “Everyone brings such unique strengths, and it also highlights what makes Mass General unique. Most places don’t recognize how important women’s heart health is. Women’s health is an institutional priority here, and that’s something I’m grateful for.”\r\n\r\n\u003Cem\u003ETo learn more about how you can support the Women's Heart Health program at Mass General, \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fgiving.massgeneral.org\u002Fcontact?route_to=Christina%20Ferraiolo&about=Womens%20Heart%20Health\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003Econtact us\u003C\u002Fa\u003E. \u003C\u002Fem\u003E",post_title:jo,post_excerpt:jp,post_status:g,comment_status:e,ping_status:e,post_password:a,post_name:"womens-heart-health",to_ping:a,pinged:a,post_modified:"2024-08-07 08:05:59",post_modified_gmt:"2024-08-07 12:05:59",post_content_filtered:a,post_parent:c,guid:"https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002F?p=1074113",menu_order:c,post_type:v,post_mime_type:a,comment_count:f,filter:d,acf:{hide_donate_button:b,hide_primary_navigation:b,hide_footer_donate_now:b,hide_from_search:b,enable_override:b,expire_url_redirect:a,swiftype_keywords:a,custom_swiftype_boost:a,template:M,cta_selector:a,hero_style:ag,key_takeaways:b,story_sidebar_logo:b,cta_sidebar:b,page_selector:a,story_type:{term_id:V,name:aO,slug:bR,term_group:c,term_taxonomy_id:V,taxonomy:U,description:a,parent:c,count:bl,filter:d},where_to_give:[{term_id:A,name:_,slug:aC,term_group:c,term_taxonomy_id:A,taxonomy:t,description:at,parent:c,count:au,filter:d}],how_to_give:b,GlobalComponentsEditor:b},featured_media:1074336}},{title:gI,type:v,external_id:"1072209",image:jq,link:jr,short_text:gJ,story_type:cU,event_data:b,post_data:{ID:js,post_author:aa,post_date:jt,post_date_gmt:ju,post_content:jv,post_title:gI,post_excerpt:gJ,post_status:g,comment_status:e,ping_status:e,post_password:a,post_name:jw,to_ping:a,pinged:a,post_modified:jx,post_modified_gmt:jy,post_content_filtered:a,post_parent:c,guid:jz,menu_order:c,post_type:v,post_mime_type:a,comment_count:f,filter:d,acf:{hide_donate_button:b,hide_primary_navigation:b,hide_footer_donate_now:b,hide_from_search:b,enable_override:b,expire_url_redirect:a,GlobalComponentsEditor:b,story_type:{term_id:bS,name:cU,slug:ef,term_group:c,term_taxonomy_id:bS,taxonomy:U,description:a,parent:c,count:be,filter:d},where_to_give:[{term_id:A,name:_,slug:aC,term_group:c,term_taxonomy_id:A,taxonomy:t,description:at,parent:c,count:au,filter:d}],how_to_give:b,template:M,cta_selector:a,hero_style:ag,key_takeaways:b,story_sidebar_logo:b,cta_sidebar:b,page_selector:a,swiftype_keywords:a,custom_swiftype_boost:a},featured_media:1072210}},{title:jA,type:v,external_id:"1071392",image:"https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002Fkatherine.jpg",link:"https:\u002F\u002Fgiving.massgeneral.org\u002Fstories\u002Fkatherines-story-a-pregnancy-journey-to-remember\u002F",short_text:jB,story_type:aO,event_data:b,post_data:{ID:1071392,post_author:aa,post_date:"2024-04-03 11:56:46",post_date_gmt:"2024-04-03 15:56:46",post_content:"\u003Cp style=\"line-height: 0.01\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"text-align: left\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: small\"\u003E\u003Cem\u003EThis story was first published \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneralbrigham.org\u002Fen\u002Fabout\u002Fnewsroom\u002Fpatient-stories\u002Fkatherines-story-heart-surgery-in-pregnancy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003Ehere.\u003C\u002Fa\u003E\u003C\u002Fem\u003E\r\n\u003C\u002Fspan\u003E \u003C\u002Fspan\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\r\nWhen Katherine and her husband Shawn learned they were pregnant with their first child, the news brought mixed emotions.

Inglessis and Scott told Katherine that she qualified for a percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty, which widens heart valves to improve blood flow. While the procedure had risks, the team was confident they could perform it safely — and they succeeded. Katherine was able to continue the rest of her pregnancy and gave birth to a healthy baby girl named Amari five months later.\r\n\r\n“We are so grateful for these compassionate and very talented doctors and their teams. Because of them, we have our beautiful healthy baby with us right now,” says Katherine.\r\n\u003Ch2\u003EA Diagnosis Stemming from Childhood Illness\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nOriginally from the Philippines, Katherine was diagnosed with rheumatic mitral stenosis after a childhood illness. Rheumatic mitral stenosis occurs after a fever from an untreated strep infection damages the heart, and is more common in developing countries.\r\n\r\n“If you don’t have access to the right treatment for the strep infection, then you can get acute inflammation that damages the heart valves,” Dr. Scott explains.\r\n\r\nMitral stenosis narrows the heart’s mitral valve opening, which restricts the amount of oxygenated blood flowing through the heart. It can also cause fluid to build up in the lungs.\r\n\r\n“As a kid, I would pass out in the middle of the day when the weather was hot,” says Katherine. “I would get sick a lot.

I was a professional, competitive runner in my younger days, but it was Susan that showed me that running can be a lifelong pursuit.”\r\n\r\nWe asked Susan to share some of what she’s learned in her quest to run 50 marathons.\r\n\u003Ch3\u003E1. Listen to your body\u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\r\n“I ran my first 15 marathons without realizing I had a heart condition — a hole in the interior wall, the size of a quarter, which went undetected until my fifties. I didn’t notice it most of the time, except when running uphill, where I felt like I hit a wall. Friends noted my heavy breathing, but I shrugged it off. Despite the condition, I was determined to keep going. At 57, I underwent open heart surgery at \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EMassachusetts General Hospital.\u003C\u002Fa\u003E Nine months later, much to the dismay of my cardiologist, \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fdoctors\u002F17141\u002Fignacio-inglessis-azuaje\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EIgnacio Inglessis-Azuaje, MD\u003C\u002Fa\u003E, who advised me to “hang up my shoes,” I tackled the Dublin Marathon where I set a personal record, crossing the finish line in under four hours. Remarkably, Dr. Inglessis now stands beside me as a fellow marathoner, having joined my team and even completed an Ironman. The surgery proved to be transformative for my running. My journey underscores the importance of thorough physical examinations before embarking on a marathon, as well as the necessity of listening to one's body during training.”\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1071529\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"220\"]\u003Cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-1071529\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn4.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002F2784.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"220\" height=\"220\" \u002F\u003E Ignacio Inglessis-Azuaje, MD[\u002Fcaption]\r\n\u003Ch3\u003E2. Consistency is key\u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\r\n“I firmly believe in the saying, ‘never try anything new on race day.’ This applies to everything, from my shoes to my pre-race meal. I make sure my shoes are broken in but still in good shape, ensuring they fit well and won't cause discomfort. Before race day, I do a few short runs or one long run in them to double-check. For breakfast, I stick with oatmeal as it's reliable and easy on the stomach. I avoid dairy because it takes too long to digest, and I also steer clear of salty foods.”\r\n\u003Ch3\u003E3. Get in your miles (and cross-training)\u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\r\n“In marathon training, mileage is key, particularly the long runs. I learned this the hard way during my first marathon, where my longest run had only been 15 miles; this left me sore for a week afterward. While it's possible to finish a marathon with less training, putting in more miles beforehand, especially for beginners or older runners, significantly improves your experience. Most training plans max out at a 20-mile run, leaving the final six miles challenging no matter what. Long runs help you mentally break down the course into manageable segments and give you the confidence to tackle those tough final miles.”\r\n\r\nAnd don't forget the importance of cross-training! After running several marathons and aiming for a sub-4-hour finish time, I started noticing recurring injuries stemming from the overuse of specific muscle groups. Following advice from my doctor and physical therapist, I began incorporating biking, swimming, yoga and gym workouts into my weekly routine. While cross-training might not directly translate to increased speed, it definitely makes you stronger and less prone to injuries. And treating yourself to a weekly massage doesn't hurt either!\"\r\n\u003Ch3\u003E4. Sometimes, the accomplishment is finishing\u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\r\n“In some races, aiming for a personal best is the goal, while in others, just reaching the finish line is the achievement. I always start a race with the intention of giving it my all, knowing there's a chance I might not finish. So far, I've completed every marathon I've started, although they haven't all been easy. During the Sydney Marathon, I faced severe stomach pain and had to stop at the emergency tent, likely due to dehydration. Despite the setback, I managed to push through and finish the race. I've learned that with determination and perseverance, we can overcome challenges and reach our goals.”\r\n\u003Ch3\u003E5. Running is a challenge, but can be a comfort\u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\r\n“Life is filled with challenges, but running has been my anchor during some of the toughest times. Whenever I face obstacles, having a marathon to focus on keeps me moving forward. In 2018, I was diagnosed with breast cancer, and it was terrifying. But I had always dreamed of running a marathon in Antarctica, so I made it my goal. Throughout my treatment, I focused on that race, determined to make it happen. Despite surgeries, chemotherapy and radiation, I kept pushing forward. And once my treatment was over, I fulfilled my dream of running that marathon, feeling a sense of completeness restored.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1072245\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"350\"]\u003Cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-1072245\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn4.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002Fragonignacio.jpg\" alt=\"Susan Ragon and Ignacio Inglessis-Azuaje, MD, after completing the Antarctic Marathon in 2019.\" width=\"350\" height=\"259\" \u002F\u003E Susan Ragon and Ignacio Inglessis-Azuaje, MD, after completing the Antarctic Marathon in 2019.[\u002Fcaption]\r\n\r\nAnother fulfilling aspect of marathon running for me is the opportunity to run for charity. While I usually qualify for marathons, I choose to run in support of causes that matter to me, like Mass General.

Dr. Wood says the same effect can work in your favor if you build an environment and social network that supports healthy living.\r\n\r\nHere are some tips from Dr. Wood to help you on your way toward heart-healthy living:\r\n\r\n\u003Cstrong\u003EPut Heart Health in Your Environment\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\r\n\u003Cul\u003E\r\n \t\u003Cli\u003EKnow that where you spend your time can affect your health\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\r\n \t\u003Cli\u003EMake sure you have clean air to breathe, good quality light and a lack of clutter around you\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\r\n \t\u003Cli\u003EDon’t smoke\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\r\n \t\u003Cli\u003EBuild healthy relationships\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\r\n \t\u003Cli\u003EDefuse and disengage from toxic, unhealthy relationships\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\r\n \t\u003Cli\u003EBuild a supportive social network\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\r\n \t\u003Cli\u003EEmbrace and cherish those around you who are truly supportive\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\r\n \t\u003Cli\u003EListen well and actively engage\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\r\n \t\u003Cli\u003EBe an agent of change not only for yourself but for your friends and family.\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\r\n\u003C\u002Ful\u003E\r\n\u003Cstrong\u003EAdd Exercise to Your Plan\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\r\n\u003Cul\u003E\r\n \t\u003Cli\u003EChoose activities you can enjoy\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\r\n \t\u003Cli\u003EFind a workout buddy\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\r\n \t\u003Cli\u003EMake a new music playlist to listen to during your workouts\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\r\n \t\u003Cli\u003ETry using a smart phone app to track your exercise\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\r\n \t\u003Cli\u003EWhen exercising at home, give yourself plenty of space to move around\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\r\n \t\u003Cli\u003EGather your equipment such as hand weights, jump rope, resistance bands, etc. before you begin.\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\r\n\u003C\u002Ful\u003E\r\n\u003Cstrong\u003EMake Your Workplace Heart Healthy\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\r\n\u003Cul\u003E\r\n \t\u003Cli\u003EAssess how much opportunity you have to move around at work\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\r\n \t\u003Cli\u003EIdentify sources of unhealthy snacks in your work area and plan how to avoid them\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\r\n \t\u003Cli\u003EEvaluate the food choices in the cafeteria and look for healthy choices.\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\r\n\u003C\u002Ful\u003E\r\n\u003Cem\u003EFor more information, contact the \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fheartcenter\u002Fservices\u002Ftreatmentprograms.aspx?id=1011\"\u003ECorrigan Women's Heart Health Program\u003C\u002Fa\u003E at Mass General's Corrigan Minehan Heart Center.\u003C\u002Fem\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cem\u003EOriginal article published by Kay Cahill on Sept. 6, 2018\u003C\u002Fem\u003E",post_title:jT,post_excerpt:jU,post_status:g,comment_status:e,ping_status:e,post_password:a,post_name:"heart-healthy-living-advice-from-a-mass-general-cardiologist",to_ping:a,pinged:a,post_modified:jW,post_modified_gmt:jX,post_content_filtered:a,post_parent:c,guid:"https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002F?p=1066654",menu_order:c,post_type:v,post_mime_type:a,comment_count:f,filter:d,acf:{enable_override:b,expire_url_redirect:a,GlobalComponentsEditor:b,story_type:{term_id:ah,name:jV,slug:"expert-advice",term_group:c,term_taxonomy_id:ah,taxonomy:U,description:a,parent:c,count:127,filter:d},where_to_give:[{term_id:A,name:_,slug:aC,term_group:c,term_taxonomy_id:A,taxonomy:t,description:at,parent:c,count:au,filter:d}],how_to_give:b,template:M,cta_selector:a,hero_style:ag,key_takeaways:b,story_sidebar_logo:b,page_selector:a},featured_media:1066688}},{title:gN,type:v,external_id:"1065700",image:aw,link:jY,short_text:jZ,story_type:ed,event_data:b,post_data:{ID:j_,post_author:ab,post_date:"2023-03-31 12:44:15",post_date_gmt:"2023-03-31 16:44:15",post_content:"For more than 200 years, as the needs of our patients and community have grown, \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EMassachusetts General Hospital\u003C\u002Fa\u003E has grown.

This allows the body to better metabolize food and can help patients lose weight. It may have other benefits, too, such as decreasing cancer risk, managing autoimmune diseases and even adding years to a person’s life.\r\n\u003Cblockquote class=\"pull-quote-blockquote\"\u003EIt actually matters when we eat. Not just what we eat, or how much.\u003C\u002Fblockquote\u003E\r\nOur eating patterns differ from those of our ancestors’. They likely went for long periods without food. They ate their largest meal closer to mid-day and went to bed early. Sometimes, they had little food to survive on.\r\n\r\nFor many of us, food is plentiful, always available, and most of what we eat is processed. We are more sedentary than our ancestors, and we sleep less and eat more food, more often.\r\n\r\nIntermittent fasting is really about getting our eating in-line with our circadian rhythms, the physical, mental and behavioral changes in our bodies that follow a daily cycle. These rhythms are most influenced by daylight. Irregular rhythms have been linked to obesity, sleep disorders, diabetes and depression. It actually matters when we eat. Not just what we eat, or how much.\r\n\r\n\u003Cstrong\u003EWhat plan do you recommend for intermittent fasting?\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\r\nThere are three things to consider. \u003Cstrong\u003EFirst\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E, the quality of the food you consume. You should eat mostly whole foods from plants or animals. And you should limit processed items, such as cookies, cereals, crackers and chips.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1038441\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"220\"]\u003Cimg class=\"wp-image-1038441 size-full\" src=\"\u002F\u002Fcdn.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002Ffitch-2.jpg\" alt=\"Angela Fitch, MD\" width=\"220\" height=\"220\" \u002F\u003E Angela Fitch, MD[\u002Fcaption]\r\n\r\n\u003Cstrong\u003ESecond,\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E the quantity of food you are eating. After fasting, you can’t binge-eat. If you are trying to use intermittent fasting to lose weight, you should cut your calorie consumption by 30 percent — in addition to limiting the window of time in which you are eating each day.\r\n\r\nAnd \u003Cstrong\u003Ethird,\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E the timing. I suggest beginning with 10 consecutive fasting hours each day. Every few weeks, add a fasting hour, until you reach 16 hours, or a comfortable point. Longer than 12 hours of fasting produces metabolic health benefits. But at more than 16 hours, those benefits level off.\r\n\r\nDuring fasting, water and drinks with no calories, such as coffee and tea without sugar, cream or sweeteners are permitted. Most patients prefer to eat dinner, then fast, which allows them to sleep through some of their fasting hours and eat breakfast later in the day. Eating more in the morning and less in the evening is better for metabolic fitness but it is hard to do because eating is also a social activity, especially for dinner.\r\n\r\nOther options include consuming 500 calories every other day. Or a fasting-mimicking diet, where eating is restricted for five consecutive days and special foods, mostly fats, like olives and fatty acids, and some protein and bone broth are consumed.\r\n\u003Cblockquote class=\"pull-quote-blockquote\"\u003EAt Mass General, we encourage patients to eat healthy 80 percent of the time and help them not beat themselves up about the other 20 percent.\u003C\u002Fblockquote\u003E\r\n\u003Cstrong\u003EWho can try intermittent fasting?\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\r\nMost people can try intermittent fasting. But if you have diabetes, kidney disease or heart failure, talk with your doctor first. Intermittent fasting is not recommended for a person who has an eating disorder or women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Some early effects that may subside after a few weeks include dehydration, constipation and hunger.\r\n\r\n\u003Cstrong\u003EWhy does intermittent fasting work?\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\r\nAfter 12 hours of fasting, insulin levels in our blood drop, allowing our bodies to burn more fat as fuel. This is helpful for patients who are insulin resistant, meaning their bodies make more insulin than normal. They may have tried healthy eating and exercise to shed pounds without success because their bodies are set to a fat-storage mode. (Insulin resistance is a precursor to type 2 diabetes.)\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1003274\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"220\"]\u003Cimg class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-1003274\" src=\" https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002FGelsomin-banner.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"220\" height=\"220\" \u002F\u003E Learn more about obesity and weight loss:\u003Cbr \u002F\u003E• \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fcharged\u002Fepisodes\u002Fangela-fitch\"\u003EDr. Fitch Talks About Obesity \u003C\u002Fa\u003E\u003Cbr \u002F\u003E• \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fadvances.massgeneral.org\u002Fdigestive-health\u002Farticle.aspx?id=1127#:~:text=Fitch%2C%20MD%2C%20FACP%2C%20FOMA%2C%20is%20the%20associate%20director,obesity%20by%20promoting%20healthy%20weight%20attainment%20and%20management.\"\u003EHealthy Eating Resolutions\u003C\u002Fa\u003E\u003Cbr \u002F\u003E• \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fblum-center\u002Fevents\u002F5-tips-to-maintain-a-healthy-weight\"\u003E Five Tips for a Healthy Weight\u003C\u002Fa\u003E[\u002Fcaption]\r\n\r\nUsing bloodwork, we can identify these patients and offer intermittent fasting, either alone, or in combination with nutritional guidance and medication.\r\n\r\nI think intermittent fasting works well because it gives people structure. I educate my patients that in order to successfully lose weight, they must also consider factors such as accountability and creating a metabolic advantage, which fasting provides by giving the body a way to convert more of its fat to fuel.\r\n\r\n\u003Cstrong\u003EHow can family members help a person who needs to lose weight?\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\r\nFamilies and couples should approach weight loss together.

When intense, rumination wears a person down. It typically resists our current array of treatments.\r\n\r\nCurrent research indicates that people who ruminate have decreased activity in the default mode network of the brain. Since psychedelics, specifically psilocybin, a compound derived from a psychoactive mushroom, changes the connectivity of the default mode, might it create a window of opportunity to change the brain? Psychedelics appear to make the brain receptive to change and thus have enormous potential, I believe, to promote improvements in mental health conditions, specifically those not responsive to current treatments.\r\n\u003Cblockquote class=\"pull-quote-blockquote\"\u003EWhat we do here we believe will one day change many, many lives for the better.\u003C\u002Fblockquote\u003E\r\n\u003Cstrong\u003EWhat is the reason for the recent focus on psychedelic medicine?\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\r\n\r\nClinical studies now support the long-held conviction that these agents can be adapted for their unique therapeutic potential and inspire researchers to make up for the decades of lost opportunity for researching this therapeutic potential. In response to the use of LSD and other psychedelics during the 1960s by groups that the government wished to suppress, psychedelics were placed into the most restrictive category of drugs, which pretty much prohibited significant research for the next 30 years.\r\n\r\n\u003Cstrong\u003EWhy Mass General?\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\r\n\r\nWe have the infrastructure and the research expertise to investigate how these drugs change the brain.

It was his heart.\r\n\r\nIn late 2022, cardiology tests revealed Lane had an aortic aneurysm, which occurs when a weak spot in the wall of the aorta begins to bulge. \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fdoctors\u002F16551\u002Feric-isselbacher\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EEric Isselbacher, MD, MSC,\u003C\u002Fa\u003E cardiologist at the \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fheart-center\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ECorrigan Minehan Heart Center\u003C\u002Fa\u003E at \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EMassachusetts General Hospital\u003C\u002Fa\u003E and co-director of the \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.massgeneral.org\u002Fheart-center\u002Ftreatments-and-services\u002Fthoracic-aortic-center\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003EMass General Thoracic Aortic Center,\u003C\u002Fa\u003E told Lane he likely had been born with an abnormally weak aorta.

Isselbacher, MD, MSC[\u002Fcaption]\r\n\u003Ch2\u003EA Lifetime of Adventure\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nLane first began experiencing irregular heartbeats in 2003 while training for a triathlon. At one point, he had rapid heartbeats that reached a frightening 300 beats per minute. Doctors performed an ablation, which burns or freezes sections inside the heart to create small scars that break up electrical signals that cause irregular heartbeats. The ablation was unsuccessful, so Lane received a pacemaker and defibrillator, along with an official diagnosis of idiopathic ventricular tachycardia — irregular heartbeats without a real explanation — and he kept competing in half marathons and triathlons. The defibrillator malfunctioned a few years later, so he had it removed and underwent another ablation. This time, the procedure was successful.\r\n\r\nFast forward to late 2022, and Lane began experiencing strange cardiac sensations again while running. He wore a monitor to record his heart’s rhythm and had an echocardiogram, which revealed a sizable aortic aneurysm. His cardiologist in Newburyport referred Lane to Dr. Isselbacher, who told him that he needed surgery.\r\n\r\n“I told him that I was already planning the trip to Aconcagua and that I still wanted to go,” Lane says. “He told me that I was in good shape, and I could recover from this well. So, we counted backward from when I was planning to be in South America, and that’s when we scheduled the surgery.”\r\n\r\n“Lane leads an active life, and he wanted to continue to lead an active life. We wanted to make that possible for him,” says Dr. Isselbacher. “A huge part of our ‘whole patient approach’ is about meeting patients where they are.”\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1072224\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"220\"]\u003Cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-1072224\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn4.giving.massgeneral.org\u002Fassets\u002FSundtHS.jpg\" alt=\"Thor Sundt, MD\" width=\"220\" height=\"220\" \u002F\u003E Thor Sundt, MD[\u002Fcaption]\r\n\u003Ch2\u003ECrawl, Walk, Run\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nDr. Sundt successfully performed open-heart surgery in October 2022 to replace Lane’s bulging ascending aorta with a synthetic graft. Dr. Sundt told Lane he would likely be back to 80% of his fitness six weeks after surgery, 90% by six months and then, back to his normal physical abilities a year post-operation. With the approval of his care team, Lane was walking three to five miles a day two weeks after the surgery and ran a 5K at the six-week mark — his eyes trained on Aconcagua.\r\n\r\n“I was so grateful that Mass General had people on staff willing to talk to a crazy adventure athlete who wanted to push his recovery,” Lane says. “They consulted with me, looked at my baseline fitness and age profile and told me how much I could do.”\r\n\r\n“For me, cardiac surgery is about more than saving lives,” Dr. Sundt says. “It’s about returning patients to the lives they love.”\r\n\u003Ch2\u003EA New Kind of Summit\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nWhen December 2023 arrived, and Lane was about to climb Aconcagua, he felt more anxious than he had in the past. “I’ve been on lots of mountains, but I’ve never been up one after open-heart surgery, and I’ve never been up one as high as Aconcagua,” he says. “The oxygen level is only about one-third of what it is at sea level. I didn’t know how my body would perform, even without the open-heart surgery.”\r\n\u003Cblockquote\u003E“From beginning to end, from the time I was referred there through post-operative care, every nurse, physician and staff member I encountered was friendly, understanding, responsive and skillful.\"\u003C\u002Fblockquote\u003E\r\nBut his body did perform. Lane’s recovery and training had gone so well that the surgery didn’t cross his mind. His labored breathing was due to the high altitude, just like everyone else’s. And even though high winds and freezing temperatures stopped Lane and the other climbers right below the summit, he still considered the trip a success.\r\n\r\n“I know that attitude can’t overcome degenerative physical illness, but it can absolutely aid in recovery,” says Lane. “I’ve been a lifelong optimist, and I think that helped me build confidence for a swift recovery.

Wherever his next adventure takes him, he’s grateful to Mass General’s Heart Center team for putting him back on the road less traveled.\r\n\r\n“From beginning to end, from the time I was referred there through post-operative care, every nurse, physician and staff member I encountered was friendly, understanding, responsive and skillful,” Lane says. “It’s been the best experience I could have had for something as intimidating and frightening as heart surgery.”\r\n\r\n\u003Cem\u003ETo learn more about making a gift to the Corrigan Minehan Heart Center, please \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fgiving.massgeneral.org\u002Fcontact\u002F?route_to=Christina+Ferraiola&about=Heart Center\"\u003Econtact us\u003C\u002Fa\u003E.\u003C\u002Fem\u003E","the-heart-of-an-athlete","2024-06-12 09:17:49","2024-06-12 13:17:49","https:\u002F\u002Fadmin.giving.massgeneral.org\u002F?p=1072209","Katherine's Story: A Pregnancy Journey to Remember","Living with a heart valve condition meant that Katherine's pregnancy would likely come with complications.

Over the years, nurses have studied ways they can deliver family-centered care for cardiac patients; defined the trajectory for recovery from cardiac surgery to reflect an individual’s goals; and explored non-pharmacological nursing interventions to reduce stress in cardiac patients.\r\n\u003Ch2\u003EThe Positive Power of Music\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\r\nDr. Carroll’s own most recent study is measuring the effects of music on cardiac surgery patients.\r\n\r\n“Cardiac surgery inpatients are susceptible to numerous stressful factors, including fear, pain, sleeplessness, communication problems and the inability to relax in such an alien environment,” Dr. Carroll says. “Current practice to alleviate these stressful factors involves the administration of sedatives and pain medications that are thought to increase hospital length of stay. While previous studies of the impact of music on serum cortisol — the stress response hormone — have been mixed, there has not been a consideration of the parallel psychological, physical and neuroendocrine effects of music.”\r\n\u003Cblockquote\u003E\"Reducing patients' pain and anxiety helps put them on a strong footing toward a quicker recovery and a return home.\"\u003C\u002Fblockquote\u003E\r\nThe study, which aims to enroll 80 patients, measures all those responses in each patient to a 30-minute music intervention, consisting of symphonic and nature sounds.
