Patient Stories
Learn how we help our patients stay amazing
It was amazing that Dr. Horn not only suspected I had PVOD, but also paid such close attention to how my body responded to the various medications and made choices that resulted in prolonging my life.
When Eliana arrived, she could not walk or even stand. As the team at NewYork-Presbyterian waited for her new heart to arrive, they worked to nourish her body as much as possible. About a week after getting on the transplant list, Dr. Uriel got the good news that they had secured a heart.
I feel like a brand new person. Living on the LVAD taught me how to live in the present moment and to be grateful for every second of life and every breath I take. Now, with the heart transplant behind me, I’m traveling and living life from a whole new perspective.
