Today marked my final cardiology check-up with Dr. Marx before his well-deserved retirement. Words can’t fully capture my gratitude for his 17 years of care, expertise, and unwavering dedication to my health and to so many others. My heart—and so many others—beats stronger because of you. ❤️
I’m also deeply proud of the Ebstein’s Anomaly Foundation, raising and donating thousands of dollars to support life-changing research. Today we proudly donated $12,500 to the cause. From the various donations over the years, the team has almost completed patient enrollment for the Cone procedure study, gathering quality of life data that will shape the future of Ebstein’s treatment.
From these donations, they’ve also hired a research assistant to analyze outcomes, creating a database that will provide vital insights into the long-term effects of this surgery. Soon, Dr. Zielonka will publish these findings in a scientific paper that has the potential to transform how this condition is treated worldwide.
Thank you, Dr. Marx, and the entire team behind this work, for your commitment to improving the lives of those with Ebstein’s Anomaly. You’ll always hold a special place in my heart, and I’m grateful to now be in the trusted care of another esteemed cardiologist, handpicked by Dr. Marx himself 🫶
