Survivor Spotlight: Jen
Jen goes on life support just days after giving birth.
“I had a pretty normal mom life, everything was pretty good and it was a very happy life.”
Pregnancy-induced heart failure threatened her life.
“We just had a new baby, and then all of a sudden within a day or two she’s on life support and fighting for her life. They told me that my only chance was a heart transplant."
Her treatment plan was based on research funded by the AHA.
“And the American Heart Association made that [heart transplant] possible. Their research helped save me.”
