I seem to recall a minor valve problem. Like mitral valve prolapse. The real problem was her low B12.
That gal who worked with us, left not long after. So I don't know if her sister had surgery finally. The plan was to wait and monitor it for a year...they said when the B12 is better, she might not need the surgery. But I remember when that emergency call came in... and my tech had to run out..and we had no help that day besides!
So it was doubly memorable for ME!
(both families had immigrated here just a few years before).
If one Googles India and B12 you can find many papers from there about this...in fact more than in US. Their dietary practices because of their faith etc leads them down the low B12 consequences path.
