Contemporary Christian and pop singer Amy Grant underwent open-heart surgery to fix a rare heart condition on Wednesday.
After going in for a regular checkup, Grant discovered earlier this year she has had a heart condition called partial anomalous pulmonary venous return (PAPVR) all of her life, TODAY reports.
Then in February, she took to Twitter to share the news.
“Since February is heart health awareness month, I want to send out a shout out to my doctor, John Bright Cage,” Grant wrote on Twitter. “He suggested I have a checkup because of my Dad’s heart history.”
“As always, I am feeling great, but the battery of tests he put me through show that I have had a heart condition since birth,” she shared.
“The first good news is that I am completely asymptomatic. The second good news is that it’s fixable, so instead of concerts and camping trips this summer, I am going to take care of my heart.
“Are you taking care of yours?! Please do,” she added.
