In our second CHD Spotlight episode, we'll discuss holes in the heart—atrial septal defects (ASDs), ventricular septal defects (VSDs) and more!

Today's CHD Spotlight is on the most common type of heart defect commonly referred to as "holes in the heart." This episode features Dr. William Novick—an internationally-known cardiothoracic surgeon and the head of the Novick Cardiac Alliance, a nonprofit organization providing life-saving heart surgeries to children around the world.

In this episode, Dr. Novick shares the names of some specific congenital heart defects (they are commonly referred to as "holes in the heart") and the treatment used to help people born with these heart defects survive and thrive.  He also discusses some heart defects which commonly have a hole in their heart, as well.

Why would a heart mom work for a CHD organization?  What would prompt a young woman to leave her career and work for the same organization? How does this organization help families affected by CHD?

Kate Stacy and Sydney Philpott-Streiff both work at Ollie Hinkle Heart Foundation, a nonprofit committed to year-round support for families and children affected by pediatric heart disease. 

Kate is mom to six-year-old Stella, born with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome in 2015. She underwent three open-heart surgeries at two days, 4 months, and 3 years of age. In her early months, she was hospitalized frequently with GI issues but has been very active, happy, and healthy since her last OHS. Kate and her husband Adam also have twins born via IVF, Connor, and Ellie, aged 8 years. 

Sydney was unexpectedly diagnosed with a CHD at age 27. She was on a morning run with her husband Andy when she went into cardiac arrest. Andy performed CPR until paramedics arrived. Sydney was in a coma for 48 hours and needed open heart surgery. Although her recovery was challenging, Andy and Sydney are expecting their first child in January.  

In this episode, they talk about their experiences working with the Ollie Hinkle Heart Foundation.
