Mary Louise Francis, de Dartmouth, llam\u00f3 la atenci\u00f3n el pasado mes de septiembre cuando vio en su bandeja de entrada el asunto \"\u00bfTu coraz\u00f3n marcha al ritmo de un tambor diferente?\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Era un correo electr\u00f3nico de Southcoast Health en el que se anunciaba un seminario web sobre arritmias cardiacas, y ella se hab\u00eda sentido extra\u00f1a \u00faltimamente: experimentaba mareos ocasionales y se hab\u00eda desmayado recientemente. Un m\u00e9dico de urgencias le diagnostic\u00f3 v\u00e9rtigo, pero ahora se preguntaba si la arritmia que sufri\u00f3 en los a\u00f1os noventa hab\u00eda vuelto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"De repente, me pregunt\u00e9 si esto pod\u00eda ser lo que me pasaba\", dice. \"Tuve esta sensaci\u00f3n de urgencia\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La educadora jubilada, esposa y madre de dos hijos se inscribi\u00f3 inmediatamente en el seminario web y concert\u00f3 una cita con el m\u00e9dico que dirig\u00eda la sesi\u00f3n, Dr. Ramin Davoudi<\/a>Director M\u00e9dico de Electrofisiolog\u00eda de Southcoast Health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mary Lou, como se la conoce, sali\u00f3 de la consulta del Dr. Davoudi con un monitor cardiaco que permit\u00eda a los m\u00e9dicos seguir su actividad cardiaca en tiempo real. Fue cuando se desmay\u00f3 mientras hablaba con su hija por tel\u00e9fono cuando recibi\u00f3 una llamada de emergencia en la que le dec\u00edan que consiguiera que la llevaran al hospital inmediatamente, preferiblemente en ambulancia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

En el Cardiovascular en Charlton Memorial Hospital<\/a>En la sala de emergencias, se enter\u00f3 de que su coraz\u00f3n se hab\u00eda parado durante 22 segundos, un tiempo al que los pacientes rara vez sobreviven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mary Lou padec\u00eda una rara enfermedad llamada s\u00edndrome del seno enfermo, que inhibe la capacidad del coraz\u00f3n para regular sus latidos, provocando que \u00e9stos sean m\u00e1s lentos, pausados e irregulares. La ingresaron inmediatamente en el hospital y a las 7:30 de la ma\u00f1ana siguiente la estaban preparando para implantarle un marcapasos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Nitesh Sood<\/a>El electrofisi\u00f3logo cardiaco que la oper\u00f3 le dijo repetidamente que el Dr. Davoudi le hab\u00eda salvado la vida al ponerle el monitor. Y casi un a\u00f1o despu\u00e9s de la operaci\u00f3n, ha reanudado su ajetreada vida sin otro desmayo ni per\u00edodo de mareo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hoy es presidenta de la Asociaci\u00f3n de Profesores Jubilados del Condado de Bristol, entre otras muchas actividades. Sigue dedicada a los educadores tras una carrera como profesora, orientadora y administradora en las escuelas p\u00fablicas de New Bedford. Tambi\u00e9n imparti\u00f3 un curso sobre ense\u00f1anza y aprendizaje basados en el cerebro en el Fitchburg State College y form\u00f3 parte del Comit\u00e9 Escolar de Acushnet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Como es l\u00f3gico, Mary Lou dice que tard\u00f3 un tiempo en acostumbrarse al marcapasos. A menudo siente c\u00f3mo se pone en marcha para mantener sus latidos y se preocupa de tomar las medidas necesarias para asegurarse de que funciona bien.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Es algo para lo que te acomodas, pero es un peque\u00f1o, peque\u00f1o, peque\u00f1o precio a pagar por salvarme la vida\", dice. \"Le debo la vida al aviso de esa sesi\u00f3n informativa, y a los m\u00e9dicos de Monumento a Charlton<\/a>.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n
