Send us Fan MailJoin me on my podcast as I feature Dr. Dina Al Rameni who is a Cardiac Surgeon and a Mechanical Circulatory Support specialist at Hartford Hospital in Connecticut and Assistant Professor at UConn.  She discusses her unique journey growing up in a small village in Jordan and what inspired her to become a Heart Surgeon! She discusses the latest advances in Heart transplant surgery and also explains what the "beating heart" transplant is. A beating heart transplant is a surgical procedure that involves transplanting a donor heart while it's still beating. This is done using a device called the Organ Care System (OCS), also known as "heart in a box". For more information about the Hartford Hospital Heart Transplant program,  please refer to their website:    https://hartfordhospital.org/services/transplant-services/departments-services/heart-transplantationThis episode was sponsored by ParaFlight.  Please see their website for details.https://paraflight.aero/If you would like to contact me with any comments or questions, please email me directly at:   [email protected]#beatinghearttransplant, #cardiacsurgery, #heartsurgery, #hearttransplantSupport the show
