Description
Cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of maternal mortality in the United States,
accounting for over one-third of maternal deaths, with Black women having among the highest
maternal mortality rates. Why is childbirth such a risky condition for U.S. women’s health,
especially for Black women? Sonata for a Damaged Heart is one Black woman’s story of a neardeath
experience following her second pregnancy and the racial disparities in the health care
industry that contributed to it. The memoir is both a moving, lyrically told story of a decade-long
struggle to survive a near-fatal heart attack with dignity and a clarion call for community-wide
mobilization to guarantee health care equity.Realizing that if she hadn’t insisted on being seen by
a doctor, and if that nurse hadn’t grasped how serious her symptoms were, she would “have been
counted among the scores of women who’d died of SCAD” the year of her attack, Kisha becomes
determined to make a difference with the second chance at life she’d been given by telling her
story and advocating for change. “During my years of struggle with trauma, research became my
closest ally, a guiding light that helped me find a way out of despair,” Kisha writes in her memoir.
Her research revealed “women experiencing a cardiac event wait 20-30% longer than men to go to
the hospital and 30% longer to be treated. This was especially true for women of color, who were
less likely to be examined thoroughly or admitted to the hospital.”Sonata for a Damaged Heart
recounts the complicated professional and emotional journey that Kisha takes from heart failure to
being selected in 2022 by the American Heart Association (AHA) as one of twelve spokeswomen
advocating for women’s heart health in its national education campaign, Reclaim Your Rhythm.
