BUT FOR ONE FATHER-SON DUO IN MARYLAND, THAT BOND GOES RIGHT TO THE HEART--AS BOTH OF THEM HAVE UNDERGONE HEART TRANSPLANT SURGERY. DOCTOR SANJAY GUPTA SHARES THEIR STORY IN TONIGHT'S HEALTH MINUTE.
Return to Story IndexP-FATHER/SON HEARTS
EVENTUALLY RANDY WAS DIAGNOSED WITH FAMILIAL CARDIOMYOPATHY, AND WAS TOLD HE WOULD NEED A HEART TRANSPLANT TO SURVIVE. CARDIOMYOPATHY IS A DISEASE THAT AFFECTS THE HEART MUSCLE AND THE WAY IT PUMPS. IN RANDY'S CASE, HIS CARDIOMYOPATHY WAS GENETIC. IT'S NOW BEEN EIGHT YEARS SINCE RANDY'S TRANSPLANT. HE'S DOING WELL. BUT HE'S ALWAYS HAD IN THE BACK OF HIS MIND, THAT HIS SON KYLE COULD DEVELOP CARDIOMYOPATHY LATER IN LIFE. UNFORTUNATELY, FOR KYLE LATER BECAME SOONER. THIS YEAR, AT 14, HE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH FAMILIAL CARDIOMYOPATHY. BUT KYLE'S HEART BECAME TOO WEAK. HE WAS TOLD HE TOO, WOULD NEED A HEART TRANSPLANT. CARDIOLOGISTS SAY IT'S RARE FOR MEMBERS OF THE SAME FAMILY TO UNDERGO HEART TRANSPLANTS. FAMILIES WITH A KNOWN HISTORY OF HEART DISEASE SHOULD CONSIDER GENETIC TESTING - SO AT LEAST THEY CAN BE AWARE OF THE RISK. THIS APRIL, KYLE RECEIVED HIS NEW HEART. SINCE THAT TIME, RANDY AND KYLE, WHO WERE ALREADY INSEPARABLE, HAVE NOW ALSO SHARED THEIR HEALTH EXPERIENCES. "Positive attitude, you gotta keep a positive attitude."

The weeklong effort that begins Sunday is part of a move to reduce distracted driving crashes. The State Highway Patrol in Ohio says the project will also involve the Kentucky State Police, Indiana State Police, Pennsylvania State Police and the West Virginia State Police. Ohio Patrol Superintendent Colonel John Born says taking your eyes off the road for even a few seconds can be dangerous. The patrol's air units in Ohio plan to help troopers on the road focus on violations that may be caused by distracted driving. AP-WF-06-16-13 1112GMT
