At 75, Vicky isn’t slowing down, thanks to life-changing heart care at Trinity Health Muskegon.

After fainting episodes and chest discomfort, Vicky learned she had a heart valve issue and later AFib, which increases stroke risk.

Interventional Cardiologist Dr. Noah Thormeier performed a TAVR procedure, and later the WATCHMAN FLX Pro. This minimally invasive device helps prevent AFib‑related strokes and often eliminates the need for long‑term blood thinners.

“It was outpatient, no pain, my husband and I went to lunch afterward,” Vicky said. “I’d recommend Dr. Thormeier to the world.”

Two years later, she feels great and is ready to welcome her eighth great‑grandchild. 💙

Her advice: Pay attention to your symptoms and talk to your doctor when something feels off.
