Modern medicine doesn't have a tonic for lovesick hearts, but for those with physically broken hearts, a solution can be found at Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC).
In the newest episode of the Vanderbilt Health DNA: Discoveries in Action podcast, "Where Do Broken Hearts Go?," experts discuss what happens behind the scenes in heart transplants, and the remarkable medical breakthroughs that have allowed more hearts to be transferred than ever before.
As of 2020, VUMC has performed the most heart transplants in the world, a feat only made possible through medical advances, the dedication of transplant experts and the courage of organ recipients.
