Reconociendo la resiliencia hispana: El transcurso de una paciente con estenosis aórtica y lecciones vitales para recordar

PRESS RELEASE - Thu, 28 Sep 2023 17:52:24

28 de septiembre de 2023 — (NOTICIAS NEWSWIRE) — Conozca a Julia García, una mujer de 74 años, amada esposa y cariñosa abuela de varios nietos. Su vida ha estado profundamente marcada por su inquebrantable dedicación y afecto al trabajo con niños. Sin embargo, la vida de Julia dio un giro inesperado cuando empezó a experimentar síntomas preocupantes. Le costaba caminar, la fatiga era constante, levantar objetos pesados se convirtió en un reto y los mareos se hicieron demasiado familiares.

Preocupada por estos síntomas, Julia no tardó en buscar atención médica. A pesar de las múltiples consultas que la llevaron a puntos muertos y a varios diagnósticos erróneos, su perseverancia dio sus frutos cuando finalmente fue remitida a un cardiólogo. Tras un examen exhaustivo, el cardiólogo hizo un descubrimiento importante: la válvula aórtica de Julia, la principal válvula que controla el flujo de sangre que sale del corazón y suministra sangre oxigenada al sistema circulatorio, estaba gravemente dañada y casi cerrada. Esta valvulopatía cardiaca tan común se denomina estenosis aórtica y puede ser mortal si no se trata.

"Cuando empecé a sentir todos estos síntomas fue cuando me di cuenta de que no podía hacer las cosas que más me gustaban", dice Julia. "Estaba dispuesta a ir a donde fuera para recibir el tratamiento que necesitaba para volver a sentirme sana".

Tras evaluar sus opciones de tratamiento con su médico, Jorge A. Álvarez MD, Julia optó por someterse a una sustitución valvular aórtica transcatéter (TAVR), un procedimiento mínimamente invasivo para sustituir su válvula aórtica. El TAVR es menos invasivo que la cirugía a corazón abierto y suele durar menos de una hora.

"Tras consultar con Julia, llegamos a la conclusión de que el TAVR sería lo más adecuado para ella", afirma el Dr. Álvarez. "Confío en que, con el tiempo, podrá resumir todas las actividades que le gustan".

La estenosis aórtica es una de las cardiopatías valvulares más frecuentes y sigue aumentando con la edad.1 La estenosis aórtica grave sintomática puede ser mortal si no se trata. En Estados Unidos, las minorías raciales están infrarrepresentadas entre los pacientes sometidos a TAVR, y las estadísticas muestran que sólo el 3,4% de los hispanos se someten a esta intervención.2 La historia de Julia es un ejemplo inspirador de persistencia y defensa de sus derechos. Con el apoyo inquebrantable de su familia y de su equipo cardiológico, logró obtener el diagnóstico y el tratamiento correctos, lo que es especialmente digno de mención en un momento en el que los grupos raciales y étnicos minoritarios siguen estando infrarrepresentados entre los pacientes que se someten a TAVR.2 Su experiencia revela la importancia de concienciar sobre la estenosis aórtica y de garantizar un acceso equitativo a los procedimientos que salvan vidas para todas las comunidades.

¿Qué es la estenosis aórtica?

La estenosis aórtica grave impide que las valvas de la válvula aórtica se abran y cierren correctamente. Esto hace que el corazón tenga que trabajar más para bombear sangre al resto del cuerpo. Una válvula enferma afecta a su salud y limita sus actividades cotidianas.

Los síntomas de la estenosis aórtica grave son, entre otros

• Dolor en el pecho
• Mareos
• Fatiga
• Dificultad para respirar
• Latidos irregulares

¿Quién está en riesgo?

La estenosis aórtica afecta predominantemente a la población de edad avanzada debido a la cicatrización y a la acumulación de calcio en la cúspide (aleta o pliegue) de la válvula.1

¿Qué es el TAVR?

El TAVR es un procedimiento mínimamente invasivo para sustituir la válvula aórtica en pacientes con estenosis aórtica grave. El TAVR es menos invasivo que la cirugía a corazón abierto, y la intervención suele durar alrededor de una hora. Su equipo cardiológico determinará si debe recibir un sedante suave o anestesia general.

¿Cuáles son los beneficios de la TAVR?

Tras la intervención, muchos pacientes de TAVR informan de beneficios como:

• Tener más energía
• Respirar con normalidad
• Sentir menos dolor
• Sentir menos síntomas
• Sentirse menos ansioso
• La mayoría de los pacientes se pueden cuidar mejor de sí mismos y regresar a sus actividades cotidianas.

¿Cuáles son los riesgos del TAVR?

Los riesgos de la TAVR pueden incluir, pero no limitarse a muerte, ataques de apoplejía, daños en las arterias, hemorragias y necesidad de un marcapasos permanente.

Si usted o un ser querido tienen preguntas sobre el TAVR u otros dispositivos cardíacos implantados, visite www.medtronic.com/TAVR.

🇺🇸🇨🇺🇵🇷🗽 What a way to begin Hispanic Heritage Month and commemorate 25 years since 9/11 in New York.

Thank you to everyone who has read, commented, and shared. This story has now reached around 2 million people across platforms and traveled around the world.

This trip became an emotional homecoming. People traveled to New York not only to remember, but to return pieces of my family’s history.

The most precious was a photograph of Dad and me during my first summer working in his office on the 19th floor of the South Tower. We believed it was lost forever on 9/11. Ms. Carole, one of Dad’s secretaries—whom he helped survive that day—had kept a duplicate. After her passing, her grandson Frankie found it, along with my World Trade Center pass marked 2/19 (South Tower, 19th Floor). I’ve now been asked to submit this history to the National September 11 Memorial & Museum.

I also learned more about Dad’s life: my Cuban father was an early supporter and organizer of the National Puerto Rican Day Parade; his baseball career led to ceremonial first pitches; and in 1972 he received the American Heritage Award during a “Spanish Night” in New York. In 2025, I received the Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award—continuing the legacy of service Mom and Dad began.

Agent Lee shared another chapter: when his family’s Chinatown restaurant was targeted by anti-Asian violence, my parents helped bring the community back—and I, a little girl in a She-Ra shirt, worked beside them asking, “What would Jesus do?” His family called me their 貴人 (Guìrén): a benefactor who arrives at the right moment.

The white suit and black dress I wore in New York belonged to Mom. Wearing them felt like carrying her with me.

As an only child, it has been my greatest honor to have always been by my late parents' side throughout my life and to care for them in their final years. I’m humbled that this story has connected us across different generations and borders.

Thank you for reminding me: “You might be far, but you are never forgotten.”

John 13:34–35 | Jeremiah 29:11

🇺🇸 My Father Survived 9/11—But 9/11 Ultimately Took His Life.

🇺🇸 Twenty-five years ago, my father, José Quintero Ramos, was on the 19th floor of the South Tower when the North Tower was struck. Dad had survived the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and knew something was wrong. He insisted his secretaries and coworkers leave. Holding hands, they formed a human chain and began descending the stairs.

🇺🇸 Then the second plane struck their tower.

🇺🇸 The lights went dark. Smoke, ash, and debris filled the hot stairwell. Dad gave others the handkerchiefs he always carried so they could breathe, leaving only his arm to cover his own face.

🇺🇸 As firefighters and first responders climbed upward, Dad thanked them and squeezed their shoulders. One young firefighter rested his face in Dad’s hand—like a son receiving a father’s blessing. Dad never saw him again.

🇺🇸 Dad and his coworkers escaped and crossed the street only moments before the South Tower collapsed at 9:59 a.m. Those with him later said they would not have survived without his insistence. His courage saved lives.

🇺🇸 For more than ten hours, we did not know whether he was alive.

🇺🇸 Covered in ash, blood, and cuts, he walked for hours across the Brooklyn Bridge to the Cathedral Basilica of St. James, where I was baptized. A priest wiped his face, embraced him, and prayed.

🇺🇸 Our family was blessed with nearly 19 more years—but Dad was never the same. He ultimately died from respiratory failure caused by the toxic air he breathed that day. He is now officially recognized as a 9/11 victim.

🇺🇸 On this 25th anniversary, I remain honor-bound as his daughter to tell his story—especially as 9/11 moves from living memory into history.

🇺🇸 9/11 did not end on September 11, 2001. Its toll continues whenever another survivor or responder dies from a related illness.

🇺🇸 May we remember those lost that day, those lost in the years since, and everyone still suffering.

🇺🇸 Daddy, your courage lives on. We will never forget. 🤍🕊️

🗽 🇺🇸 Daddy, I’ve returned to our home state to represent you at both private and public official 25th anniversary September 11th remembrance events in New York. 
🗽 🇺🇸 Your little girl is traveling solo, but safeguarded at each event by a private security team that has been prearranged for me—just another example of God’s favor and how our (good) reputation has preceded us. 
🗽 🇺🇸 It’s a reaffirmation of your protection over me still and a nostalgic reflection of the times when we all traveled together during our careers. 
🗽 🇺🇸 It is my honor to continue being your daughter and to carry the legacy. 🤍🕊️

🤍 🇨🇺 🇺🇸 🕊️ Grief and Daddy’s Little Girl.

Daddy, six years ago today, you entered eternity. Your courage on 9/11 helped others survive but ultimately cost you your life. You are now officially recognized among its victims.

Mommy passed in January. Nine months later came my MS diagnosis. A year later, on September 6, I lost you—five days before 9/11. Oh, September. We used to be friends because of fall and all things pumpkin. Not anymore.

This photo takes me back outside St. Patrick’s Cathedral. You were about to speak beside Rev. Jesse Jackson at a rally for 7,000 workers displaced by sugar refinery closures. I was seven. You handed me the mic, and I joked that kids loved sugar, families needed jobs, and we had to “keep hope alive.” I only wanted to make you proud—and get the steak sandwich and ice cream you’d promised near the World Trade Center.

Grief doesn’t take a holiday. “The death of a beloved is an amputation.” —C.S. Lewis

My parents taught me to serve and bloom where God planted me. Joshua’s special-needs diagnosis turned my grief into advocacy and a nonprofit for families. Service is our legacy and biblical calling.

But the Church must do better after loss—not only at funerals, but through the months, years, birthdays, and anniversaries. Grief is lifelong, not a race. Heaven doesn’t erase how deeply we miss their presence. Shepherding means calling, listening, and showing up so no one feels invisible or alone.

To those touched by how I honor my parents, thank you. To anyone grieving a loved one, disability, or special-needs parenting: I see you. You’re not alone. Jeremiah 29:11.

To the sweet mama in the UK: throw the plates if you need to. Jesus wept. Jesus got angry. He understands. Call me.

I know Mommy and Daddy are proud, yet my heart and soul are heavy. As the 25th anniversary of 9/11 approaches, I’ll go to NYC alone to honor Daddy.

Te amamos para siempre. 🤍

P.S. If anyone hears the rapture trumpets while I’m gone, tell God I have a VIP Express ticket—and I don’t mind pushing a few people out of the way. 🥹😇😂
