Work Heart
We exist to promote healthy living for Fontan Patients by Supporting and Empowering Patients and Families with Resources and Information
About Me
My name is Billy Lopez and I am a Fontan Patient. I was born with Situs Inversus, Dextrocardia, and Transposition of the Great Arteries. At a young age I had the Glenn Fontan procedure done and have been living with Fontan Physiology since 18 months old. I created Work Heart in order to help Fontan Patients and Families with basic necessities and information to hopefully improve the quality of life.
Heart Disease can be scary and in most cases preventable by eating right and exercising regularly! However, for Fontan Patients their condition is congenital usually diagnosed shortly after birth. Living with Fontan physiology can be difficult and make exercise more strenuous. But it is still a crucial element to help keep the single ventricle heart working to its best abilities. For the month of October we want to raise awareness of Fontan physiology as well as the benefits of exercise for Fontan Patients as well as preventing heart disease for others.
