My husband and I are very curious about a question our cardiologist asked. He asked if any of my realtives were from Louisiana or anywhere close. I said no and asked him why and he said that there were some studies done and they linked a high percentage of people from this area with this genetic disease.
When I returned home that night and was discussing it with my husband I realized that I was born in Cleveland Ohio and that my grandfather on my dad's side was from Mississippi. Much closer to Louisiana. Since then, I have been researching genelogy for that reason and many more.
My cardiologist is connected to "The Heart Center" of Oregon St. Vincent's Medical Center, where they have perfected many heart procedure techiniques and that is where I had my heart cath. I value our relationship and am a little leary about trying to find a specialist. He is very attentive a caring person. But his question makes me wonder?
