What Is The Presence Of A Dark Spot In The Heart Suggestive Of?
This is for a male relative. The doctors have found a dark spot in his heart, what could that be. Could it that be? Could it be his frequent lifting of a heavy jug of water 4 times a week. He will be seen at John Hopkins Hospital any day next week. Please ignore.I thought this website is free. Thanks anyway.
