Patient
I first met Dr. Gluckman in the ER at St. Vincent Hospital on July 29, 2007. I was in cardiac arrest/heart failure and my LVEF (left ventricle ejection fraction) was at 5%. A normal LVEF is 55%-70%, so I was literally hours away from death. Dr.G saved my life that day and with proper medications and time, my heart responded favorably to his treatment plan and my current LVEF IS 60%. I don't know if there is a finer cardiologist in the greater Portland area. I hold Dr. Gluckman in the highest esteem and my gratitude cannot be expressed in words.
