Pari Joshi, a 58-year-old high school...
Pari Joshi, a 58-year-old high school principal known for her boundless energy, began experiencing a persistent, dry cough and unusual fatigue that made climbing stairs to her classroom a struggle. Over several months, she noticed swelling in her ankles and sudden weight gain. Her primary care physician detected a murmur and referred her to cardiologist Dr. Mehta. An echocardiogram revealed severe mitral valve regurgitation; a leaky valve was causing her heart to work inefficiently. Dr. Mehta recommended mitral valve repair surgery. Terrified of open-heart surgery, Pari worried about leaving her school and aging parents. The surgery was successful, performed via a minimally invasive approach. Her recovery in the hospital was challenging, but she was diligent with cardiac rehab. Six months later, her energy has returned, the swelling is gone, and she's back at school, leading assemblies with her old vigor. The emotional journey was from fear of being a burden and losing her independence to profound gratitude and a renewed commitment to her health and community.
