In this episode you get to meet my friend, Jessica Grib. Jessica is a peripartum cardiomyopathy and paraganglioma survivor and advocate. In this episode she shares her story about the birth of her 2nd born child in 2016 and how she experienced heart failure and nearly died in the recovery room after delivery. Jessica later learned that she had a tumor called a paraganglioma that was the actual cause of her heart failure after giving birth. Jessica and I have only met via instagram but both have a shared connection with Abiomed as we also both had an Impella CP during our heart failure events. Jessica has shared her story countless times continuing to spread awareness of peripartum cardiomyopathy.
