Listen Later

In this powerful kickoff to a collaborative series with the AHA Women in Cardiology (WIC) Committee, CardioNerds (Dr. Apoorva Gangavelli, Dr. Gurleen Kaur, and Dr. Jenna Skowronski) explore the evolving landscape of women in advanced heart failure and transplant cardiology, featuring insights from two inspiring leaders in the field. Dr. Mariell Jessup, Chief Science and Medical Officer of the American Heart Association, reflects on her decades-long journey in heart failure cardiology, from navigating early career barriers to becoming a trailblazer in clinical leadership and research. Dr. Nosheen Reza, an advanced heart failure and transplant cardiologist at the University of Pennsylvania, shares how Dr. Jessup’s pioneering work has inspired her own career and shaped her approach to mentorship, advocacy, and academic development. Together, they discuss the systemic challenges women continue to face, the importance of sponsorship, and the evolving culture within cardiology. Listeners will gain a multigenerational perspective on how far the field has come and what is still needed to ensure equity, excellence, and innovation in advanced heart failure care.
