Heart rehab saves man’s life

February is American Heart Month and one man in Pueblo is proving that even at 83 you can still have a strong heart

Anthony Anselmo suffered a heart attack 20 years ago and didn’t think he was going to make it.

He decided to make a change in his life with the help of the nurses at St. Mary-Corwin Medical Centerand has been doing heart rehab three times a week for the past 20 years.

“The doctor that performed the angioplasty on me also recommended I come and I started and now they can’t get rid of me,” said Anselmo.

His doctor recently told him he had the best LDL cholesterol levels in his practice, despite the two donuts he eats every morning.
