Walden was amazed at the size of his old heart, which was nearly three times bigger than a healthy one, says Matt Olivolo of Baylor Scott & White Health. Now, thanks to his new ticker, Walden can spend time with his nearly 2-year-old granddaughter -- the reason he says he had his transplant. Walden is the 142nd person to participate in the Heart-to-Heart program since it started in 2014, under the leadership of William C. Roberts, MD, the executive director of the Baylor Heart and Vascular Institute. Roberts says the program was inspired by a former transplant patient who asked to see his old heart. Five years later, it’s evolved into a teaching opportunity to encourage others to live a healthier lifestyle.
