I was diagnosed with an enlarged heart with an ejection fraction of 30 and it was suggested that I get a defibrillator. After a disappointing second opinion, I decided to take action and be proactive. I did my research for an alternative plan of supplements to help my heart. During a visit to Dr. Ugarte, my primary care doctor, I saw VLIFE Magazine with Dr. Qamar holding a heart that said “Patients are the Heart of the Practice” and I decided that he was the doctor for me. Both doctors practice conventional medicine and approved of my proactive plan. I met Dr. Qamar with my list of questions and apologized for taking up alot of his time. I was relieved when he told me that I should never apologize or leave any appointment without having every question answered. Today, through my supplements, three stents put in by Dr. Qamar and his continued patient-centered care, I have an ejection fraction of 50 and am on the high end of a normal size heart, no longer one step away from a defibrillator.
