Pizza and Single Ventricles: Past, Present, and Future
Whether you have a child with a congenital heart disease (CHD), have a CHD yourself, or have loved someone with a CHD and are interested in the research for it, we invite you to join us for an evening with Dr. Tom Glenn, pediatric cardiologist at Texas Children's Hospital. Dr. Glenn will be speaking about his journey as a Fontan bringing his unique perspective as both patient and physician. He will be available for Q and A about living with congenital heart disease.
He has done research and published on resiliency in CHD patients. Dr. Glenn's clinical practice focuses on the care of individuals living with single ventricle circulation and how to optimize their long-term outcomes and ensure they thrive throughout their lifespan. He has a special interest in exercise physiology and how exercise and physical activity can positively impact those living with congenital heart disease. In addition, he is interested in the mental health and resiliency of individuals living with congenital heart disease and how medical providers can promote this. Dr. Glenn is passionate about his patients understanding their hearts and ensuring that they are all engaged in their medical care.
