I had a great experience as always
The cardiologist team is amazing
Dr Vijay's first question "why are you here" to access the personal perspective of the patient. He explained the why to prepare for a surgical event as in adjusting meds, monitoring BP and weight. Meet in four weeks. He will network with kidney transplant team. 64 ounce all liquids walk 30 minutes daily with breaks. Take furisomide and wait 60 minutes before activity.clear concise reassuring and defined his role manage his condition to equate best possible outcome for surgical intervention.
