In our first CHD Spotlight episode, we'll discuss half-a-heart conditions -- hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS), hypoplastic right heart syndrome (HRHS), and single ventricle hearts.

Dr. Edward Bove is our expert guest. Dr. Bove spent most of his career as a pediatric cardiothoracic surgeon at the University of Michigan Health System. A graduate of the College of the Holy Cross and Albany Medical College, he went to the University of Michigan for his residency. He returned to U of M in 1985 and by 2012, he had performed 10,000 heart surgeries, mostly on babies. Dr. Bove is a long-time supporter of Hearts Unite the Globe and currently serves as the head of our Medical Advisory Board.

In this CHD Spotlight, Dr. Bove explains what HLHS, HRHS, and single ventricle hearts are, what methods are used to treat these conditions, and how treatment for these conditions has changed over time.
