Title: S2 EP22 | Sonata for a Damaged Heart - How a Health 31-Year-Old Woman Survived her Almost Fatal Heart Attack | Kisha Stewart

I had a friend who told me she had a heart attack because she sneezed. This friend was in her 60's. When Kisha told me that she had a heart attack at 31, I couldn't believe it. She was healthy, athletic, and in the prime of her life.

Both heart attacks were due to SCAD, which some doctors have never heard of. Both people had a tear in the lining of their arteries. Both could have been fatal. This is not something that can necessarily be detected, but the signs can alert you to get help. Please listen to this interview and read Kisha's book so that you can educate yourself, your loved ones, and your physicians.

Kisha's story is incredible. Not only did she survive her heart attack, but she went back to get her nursing degree. She through herself into her career and then had another wake up call. Her book talks about her experience, her emotional healthy, her marriage, and how she and her family lived through two natural disasters.

I want to thank Kisha, her husband, Mike, and her children for being people who, instead of being victims, took their power and lives back and are contributing to society and being amazing examples for all of us.

Wakisha (Kisha) Stewart is a wife, mother of three, nurse, heart attack survivor, and a national advocate for heart health dedicated to improving the quality of cardiovascular health care for everyone. Since her heart attack in 2011 at age 31, she has conducted extensive research about the specific health risks that women, particularly Black women, face. A dynamic, nationally recognized speaker on ways to improve heart health through lifestyle changes and a fierce advocate for systemic changes in the health care system to guarantee equity and social justice for all, Kisha, a nurse with a unique perspective and survivor on a mission, was a national spokeswoman chosen in 2022 by the American Heart Association (AHA) to educate the public about the risks of cardiovascular disease.
