Great news! The video playback from the Happy Heart Festival about the lifetime management of congenital heart disease was just posted. So you know, I was very fortunate to moderate this educational session with a remarkable panel from the The Guerin Family Congenital Heart Program at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center including Dr. Jay Pruetz (fetal cardiology), Dr. Melita Viegas (pediatric cardiac surgery), Dr. Stephen Nageotte (pediatric interventional cardiology), and Dr. Prashanth Venkatesh (adult congenital cardiology).
Listening to these experts share insights about how Cedars-Sinai supports patients from diagnosis through adulthood — across Guerin Children’s and the Smidt Heart Institute — was truly eye-opening. The conversation reinforced how rapidly congenital heart care is evolving and how coordinated, lifelong management is transforming outcomes for patients and families.
