Episode 7: The Mountains We Climb

  • Summary

  • Navigating the relationship between CHDs and exercise


    In this episode, we get to hear from a rock climber with a mechanical valve. Bob Smith, an English teacher from Colorado, takes us through his CHD journey and his experience with a mechanical aortic valve. Since his valve replacement, he's climbed Mt. Rainer, El Capitan, and a long list of other expert trails.


    The conversation highlights the different activity levels of patients and how some patients push the limits of what's possible - and redefine what it means to have a CHD.
