Bogusława’s Story: Returning to Life After Severe Illness

Wife and mother of two, Bogusława leads an active life. When problems with a persistent cough brought her to the doctor, she never imagined what would follow: a heart attack, myocarditis and severe heart failure.

The doctors inserted an Impella™ heart pump to temporarily support her heart function. After two challenging months in the hospital, Bogusława was finally able to return home.
