Finding Information & Cardiac Rehab – Ronda

 

Ronda uses different sources of information.

Written testimony

I get a lot of my information just from local doctors. When this happened, I was given lots of paperwork and stuff to take home and read. And I have a good rapport with them at the hospital and I do my own research of course. And online there’s groups there’s heart related groups with other people with ICDs.
