Giving Kids With Heart Failure a Brighter Future
Giving Kids With Heart Failure a Brighter Future
Katrina Sellens was 14 when a heart pump saved her life. With FDA approval, more kids can benefit from HeartMate 3.
What happened next was also recognizable to Katrina and her family.
She passed out.
Her fainting started when she was 7. By that point, she d lived with the spells for half of her life. Still, Katrina had always been very, very active, said her mother Maria. Roller skating and tennis, horseback riding and camping. A happy kid.
Regular as her fainting had become, this time was different. Very different.
