Chase Moreno of Austin, Texas was born with a rare congenital heart defect called hypoplastic left heart syndrome. "It’s definitely one of the most severe and serious forms of heart disease that children are born with," said Eileen Stewart, M.D., pediatric and fetal cardiologist at Pediatrix® Pediatric and Congenital Cardiology Associates of Texas. Chase underwent two open heart surgeries in his first year of life and will have his third and hopefully final surgery in a few years. "Part of why I enjoy taking care of them is they're each unique and different and they each have wonderful potential to be pretty amazing people," said Dr. Stewart. "But they do have a serious heart problem that we have to kind of help take care of as part of their journey."
