Listen "Heart of The Matter"
Episode Synopsis
For a child on the heart transplant list, the wait can be from several weeks, to several months. The Pediatric Advanced Heart Failure and Transplant team at Children's of Alabama is dedicated to keeping the blood pumping and keeping children healthy until a donor arrives. Once a new heart is transplanted, our team boasts a 97 percent survival rate – well over the national rate of 90.2 percent. The experience, cohesiveness and stability of the transplant team are credited with giving children not only a new heart, but a new life.
