Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome: Tyler's Story
Presented by Kate Benscoter, Tyler's Story is a 50 minute presentation on the congenital heart defect Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS). It uses the case study format to review fetal circulation, describe HLHS, and explain the three surgeries done for this heart defect. It follows the story of Tyler, born with HLHS, through his three surgeries, insertion of a ventricular assist device, and heart transplant.
Tyler's story is told in four chapters. There is a 3-question post-test after the final chapter.
