Three years ago, when she was married, it would have been impossible. Carla's heart then was three times normal sze [sic] and the strain of pregnancy could possibly have killed her. Today, however, doctors at St. Vincent's Hospital in Los Angeles, predicted Carla, within a year, will be able to lead a normal, maternal life." Photograph caption reads, "Homeward bound - Carla Burlando couldn't be happier. Dr. Giuseppe Maselli tells the pretty Italian woman that heart surgery at St. Vincent's Hospital has been successful."
