Heart transplant patient brings home the gold
A rush of excitement swept over Alexia Clinton this past July as she walked into the 22,039 seat Houston Dynamo stadium, hearing her name along with the rest of Team New England called over the loudspeaker.

Hope for normal heart function in children with fatal heart disease
After two decades of arduous research, an investigator has published a new study showing that many children with an often fatal type of heart disease can recover “normal size and function” of damaged sections of their hearts. The finding clearly demonstrates that nearly one-fourth of children treated for “idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy,” or DCM, when these children with DCM become symptomatic by developing congestive heart failure) can be expected to fully recover normal size and function of left-ventricular (LV) heart muscle fibers within about two years of diagnosis.
