Every patient deserves a Heart Success Story.
Through patient care, research, education, and public engagement, my mission is to make cardiovascular science more understandable, more accessible, and more actionable, for patients, healthcare professionals, and the communities we serve.
What is Heart Success?
The belief that better understanding leads to better decisions, better care, and better outcomes.
It brings together patient care, research, education, public communication, and collaboration, so more people can create their own Heart Success Story.

Keep the heart working, or find another way.
For the hearts other clinics have run out of options for.
Real doses, not starter doses, watched closely and adjusted early.
The path onto the list, and the care that follows for life.
Candidacy, the wait, the call, and the years after. I stay for all of it.
Pumps and support devices, from bridge to destination.
Machines that buy time while we fight for the heart itself.
The stiff-heart disease most workups walk right past.
The disease that hides as normal aging, caught on purpose instead of late.
High pressure in the lungs, found and treated early.
Pressure on the right heart, measured early instead of guessed at.
A standing team for the day the heart stops waiting.
When minutes decide, protocol beats panic.
One patient story
From planning my funeral to planning vacations.
A heart success story. Shared with permission, told without names.
Heart success instead of failure.
What usually stays behind a specialist's door, taught in plain language, so families can act early.
Most people meet heart failure in an emergency room. I would rather they meet it on their phone, months earlier.
Watch, then read. Pick a chapter.
- 01What heart failure actually isPlain-language explanations of what a weakening heart does to a body, and why it is a diagnosis to manage, not a death sentence.
- 02Knowing the warning signsThe symptoms people wave off for months. Catching them early is often the difference between a clinic visit and an ICU stay.
- 03Transplant and MCS, demystifiedWhat an LVAD is, how a transplant list works, and what recovery really looks like, told without the fear and the jargon.
- 04Amyloidosis, the time is nowWhy a disease we once confirmed only at autopsy is now treatable, and the signs that should make any clinician stop and look harder.
