When Munsey Ayers began experiencing shortness of breath and chest pains while exercising, he mentioned the symptoms to his oncologist at his next visit. He was advised to see Dr. Dilsher Nawaz at Aurora-Denver Cardiology Associates the following day for an EKG. After also undergoing an angiogram, Munsey found out he was suffering from coronary artery disease and had a 100% blockage in his right coronary artery. Dr. Nawaz immediately scheduled him for surgery — the first coronary stent system procedure of its kind at HCA HealthONE Presbyterian St. Luke's. In this video Munsey talks about his great experience with Dr. Nawaz and the wonderful care he received at Presbyterian St. Luke's. He is now back to his normal exercise routine and advises anyone experiencing similar symptoms to not put off seeing a doctor.
