Today we’re going to talk to Tammy Asplund about her story with Loeys-Dietz syndrome, which she was diagnosed with at 52 after her son found out he had an aneurysm and also needed open heart surgery. Once he was diagnosed, it explained their family history and Tammy got tested and had open heart surgery as well.
