Recently, the Shanghai Yuanda cardiothoracic hospital for a rare success in patients with severe Ebstein Auntie Zhang successful implementation of the correction surgery, postoperative Zhang aunt completely out of five years of chest tightness, shortness of breath, cold and other difficulties, and lived a normal life.

Chest tightness, shortness of breath, a delay that is 5 years

According to Zhang aunt say, five years ago, a busy day, a sudden its as good as coming from the rain and cold for her “lasting bonds”, in order to rush in the harvest of rice threshing floor, she and her husband attend to grab a meal literally down in the rain received more than a dozen before Tam rice into the back room, busy for several days, Zhang aunt was again a big rain-fed a “cool”, suddenly fell ill.
