What happens when someone is born with only half of a working heart? Remarkably, this is what happens in babies born with a rare congenital heart defect called Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS). Physician/scientist Dr. Paul Grossfeld studies HLHS at his laboratory at the University of California San Diego, and his team has made some amazing, paradigm-shifting discoveries. As you’ll hear, these breakthroughs may very well lead to changes in the way this disease is treated, and potentially, eventually help prevent it altogether. Full of beautiful personal stories and fascinating science, this episode of One Rare Heart will engage and illuminate.
