Wendy Rieger Herat Surgery
Wendy had went off from our broadcasts for having had open-heart surgery. She spoke with News4’s Doreen Gentzler before and after the procedure to share what she’s learned from the experience — and which warning signs she missed.
“The doctor said, ‘Your heart is racing,” Wendy recently recalled from her mountain home in Virginia. “He said, ‘It’s going 130 beats a minute.’”
She then started a routine checkup and had atrial fibrillation, also known as AFib. At the time she saw a cardiologist, she learned it could dislodge a blood clot and cause a stroke.
