Amy Grant Reportedly Underwent Open-Heart Surgery to Fix a Rare Condition
Sensational gospel singer Amy Grant had to undergo an open-heart surgery to correct a rare heart condition she had since birth.
Sensational singer and band musician Amy Grant recently had to undergo open-heart surgery to correct a rare heart condition called partial anomalous pulmonary venous return (PAPVR).
This condition causes oxygen-rich blood to flow back to the lungs instead of other parts of the body. While the condition was asymptomatic and she had it since birth, Amy needed to have surgery done to correct it and prevent any issues in the future.
