32 | March 5, 2020 | the frankfort station local lisitngs frankfortstationdaily.com Woman makes lifestyle changes after Silver Cross heart surgery Submitted by Silver Cross Hospital Cindy Westergaard’s cardiac history began three years ago when leg pain literally stopped in her tracks. Every few feet, the Frankfort woman would have to stop and rest. “I knew something didn’t seem right when I had difficulty walking,” Westergaard, 62, explained. “Many of my jobs required me to be on my feet all day, but this type of pain in my legs seemed different. That’s when I saw my primary doctor, Michele Danaher M.D., and she referred me to a cardiologist.” Eventually, she had stents placed in the arteries of her heart and legs to restore blood flow. But her story does not end there. Today, Westergaard is an enthusiastic patient in the cardiac rehabilitation program at Silver Cross Hospital in New Lenox, where she is recovering from coronary artery bypass surgery and feeling better than ever. Cardiovascular disease is the No. 1 killer of women over age 25 in the United States. Women may experience different symptoms than the typical chest discomfort, shortness of breath, pain in the neck, jaw, throat or upper abdomen. “Before my own heart issues, I just thought everyone experienced chest pain,” Westergaard said. :After my first heart procedure, I learned it can show up differently in women.” Women may feel a fullness in the center of their chest, break out in a cold sweat, pain in one or both Cynthia Westergaard (left), of Frankfort, pictured with Kimberly Mason, R.N., participates in cardiac rehabilitation at Silver Cross Hospital following her recent open heart surgery at Silver Cross Hospital. Photo submitted arms, back, neck, jaw or stomach, shortness of breath without chest discomfort, nausea or vomiting. Over the past few years, Westergaard has had regular check-ups with her cardiologist, Parag Jain, M.D., F.A.C.C. Last year she mentioned to Jain she was feeling more fatigued than usual, which prompted him to order further testing, including an angiogram, a diagnostic test that uses catheters and X-ray images to detect coronary artery blockages and other abnormalities. That is when he discovered Westergaard had three blocked heart arteries, which would require coronary bypass surgery to improve blood flow to the heart. Westergaard had open heart surgery at Silver Cross by Patroklos Pappas, M.D., a thoracic and cardiovascular surgeon with more than 25 years of experience in the Chicago area. “Finding out I needed open-heart surgery was scary,” Westergaard said. “It was important to me to have a good rapport with my surgeon. When I met Dr. Pappas, I felt he had the skills and bedside manner that would give me the best outcome.” Today, Westergaard is regaining her strength in the hospital’s cardiac rehabilitation program. Guided by experienced nurses and exercise physiologists, she wears a heart monitor during exercise to gauge progress and to ensure her heart is handling the workload properly. “Cardiac rehabilitation has been so educational,” she said. “I’m learning how to exercise properly and make the necessary lifestyle changes I need to keep myself healthy. I’ve quit smoking, and I’m learning how to read food labels and cook healthier. My husband and I are trying to make these changes together. Our next goal is exercising together and using the stationary bicycle in our home regularly.” New Construction What: Why Wait to Build When this One Year Old Beauty is Waiting!!
