Heart attack survivor, Dina Pinelli, shares her story of survival and recovery

During the height of the pandemic, Dina Pinelli’s world was turned upside down when she suffered three heart attacks. For nine weeks, Dina was having trouble breathing, walking, and was extremely fatigued, but thought perhaps it was just anxiety. Always focused on her health even prior to her incidents, Dina wants other women to know that sometimes you can’t outrun your genetics and to seek treatment immediately if something doesn’t feel right. Dina is a member of the American Heart Association's Go Red for Women 2023 Real Women Class of Survivors.
