Denise LeBrun Shares Her Story about the Heart Institute at MedStar Union Memorial Hospital

She didn't feel any different. She didn't even have chest pain. But family history sounded a huge alarm and with testing, Denise LeBrun learned she too had an aortic aneurysm. The same sneaky cardiovascular condition had stolen the life of own brother. An aortic aneurysm is a bulge in wall of the aorta, the body's largest blood vessel, which stretches to a point of weakness. It's subject to burst without warning. When that happens, death can occur within minutes to hours.

Denise went to Baltimore's MedStar Union Memorial Hospital. After an assuring meeting with Dr. Michael Fiocco, the chief of open heart surgery, she knew her life was in good hands.
