Dr. Chance DeWitt, cardiovascular and thoracic surgeon with FMOL Health | Our Lady of Lourdes Heart Hospital, has seen it more times than he can count – a patient with serious heart disease who had no idea anything was wrong. The "widow maker" doesn't always announce itself. Coach Danny Broussard knows how close that call can be. He thought he felt fine – no chest pain, nothing he could point to as a warning. But Dr. DeWitt would later note that subtle signs, like occasional shortness of breath, were there all along, easy to dismiss and easy to miss. A routine checkup, slightly high cholesterol lab results and a $100 calcium score test uncovered 99% blockage in the deadliest artery in the body. Within days, Danny was in surgery. But this conversation reaches beyond the operating room. Dr. DeWitt reflects on the deep community and faith that surround his patients in South Louisiana and what he calls the “everyday miracles” he witnesses in medicine. You'll learn why a symptom-free heart can still be in danger, what a calcium screening actually reveals and how proactive care can add years to a life. It's a hopeful, practical listen for anyone who has ever assumed good health means a healthy heart.
