Dona Osterhout was only 48 years old when she noticed that she was having a hard time keeping up when she went hiking and biking with her family.
"At first, I just thought it was just my aging and getting out of shape," recalls the grandmother from Paul, Idaho.
Eventually, she could barely walk and knew it was time to seek medical attention. "I went to see the doctor here in Paul, and he said my heart was in such bad shape I should just get my affairs in order," Osterhout says.
Rather than follow those discouraging doctor's orders, she and her husband Larry came to University of Utah Health's doctors for a second opinion.
