Gigante has been sharing multiple photos and videos on her Instagram account from hospital wards over the past couple of months, up until now no one knew the condition she was suffering from.
Gigante’s Tibco-SVB team has finally shared details of her condition.

It was an incredibly scary time for Sarah, her family, her teammates, and all of those that know her.”
Medical professionals were initially unable to ascertain the cause of Gigante’s chest pains, but she was eventually diagnosed with myopericarditis – inflammation of both the heart muscle and the pericardium, the fibrous sac surrounding the heart.” Tibco-SVB team founder Linda Jackson said.
