Ingrid Renteral was less than a week old when she had her first heart surgery to correct a congenital defect. NicoleDenver7 talked with the Colorado student about how she thinks she can make an impact on her potential future patients as a cardiologist.
She was less than a week old when she had her first heart surgery to correct a congenital defect. She had a second surgery before her first birthday.
Most of Renteral’s memories involve regular visits to her cardiologist Dr. Shelley Miyamoto at Children's Hospital Colorado. Dr. Miyamoto explained Ingrid’s unique heart condition. The condition was mostly corrected through surgery and managed with medication. Ingrid has been able to live a normal, active life. But her experience has stayed with her, and Ingrid will go to college in the fall to pursue a career in medicine.
Ingrid gradated third in her class from Jefferson High School in Edgewater. She got a full ride scholarship to Colorado State University, and she has her sights set on working at Children’s Hospital someday.
