Case study: One women was able to bring her blood glucose levels back down to normal with some life style changes!

Paula Michelle Rosario Alvarez

Big thank you to Dr. Detrano and the UCI flying Samaritans!

“My diagnosis is a restrictive membranous VSD.  Restrictive means that it is small enough to restrict flow from left to right.

“Many if not most VSDs of her type close over a few years spontaneously.  I recommended that she not have surgery but follow with yearly echoes and clinical exams.”
