In this episode of She Leads Science, Dr. Liz Joy sits down with Kismet Rasmusson, DNP, NP—a nationally recognized leader in heart failure, women’s cardiovascular health, patient education, and clinical innovation. Drawing on more than 26 years at Intermountain Health, Kismet reflects on her journey from nurse practitioner student to system-wide heart failure program leader, helping shape patient education, prevention strategies, and multidisciplinary care pathways. Together, Liz and Kismet explore the evolution of heart failure care—from advanced therapies to prevention—and the critical role of patient education, including Kismet’s creation of MAWDS (Medications, Activity, Weight, Diet, and Symptoms), now a cornerstone of heart failure self-care. They also discuss women’s heart health, cardio-obstetrics, mentorship, and the power of collaboration. This conversation highlights how clinical excellence, innovation, and relationships can transform care and improve lives.
