CardioNerds (Dr. Abby Frederickson, Dr. Claire Cambron, and Dr. Rawan Amir) are joined by Dr. Leigh Reardon for a powerful conversation on navigating adult congenital heart disease as both a patient and provider.

The discussion highlights patient-centered perspectives, barriers to care within the healthcare system, and the importance of advocacy and empathy.
