429. Walking Both Paths: A Physician and Patient in Adult Congenital Heart Disease with Dr. Leigh Reardon

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. Dr. Reardon shares his personal journey with congenital heart disease and how it shaped his path to becoming an expert in the field himself. The discussion highlights patient-centered perspectives, barriers to care within the healthcare system, and the importance of advocacy and empathy. This episode was planned by the CardioNerds ACHD Council . We Were Thrilled to Join the American Heart Association’s Scientific Sessions 2025! AHA Scientific Sessions 2025 took place November 7–10 in New Orleans, LA — one of the premier annual gatherings in cardiovascular science and education. It was an incredible opportunity to connect with colleagues, hear cutting-edge research, and contribute to the ongoing conversations shaping the future of cardiovascular care. We’re grateful to everyone who joined us in New Orleans and made this year’s meeting so impactful.
