Description

Meet Chris, the "Cardiac Kid." Chris was kind enough to join us in the studio and share his patient journey through multiple heart transplants - from his initial diagnosis of dilated cardiomyopathy with PJRT syndrome, to his first heart transplant at age 17, to the discovery that another transplant would be needed. He reflects on the challenges and emotional experiences of waiting for a donor, the transformative impact of the surgery, and the support system that played a crucial role in his recovery.
