Children's Cardiomyopathy Foundation Awareness Project

Cardiomyopathy or heart failure is just one type of congenital heart defect that a child can have. The scary thing is that some cardiomyopathy is congenital (meaning that a child is born with it), but sometimes a perfectly healthy child, born with a perfectly healthy heart can acquire heart failure as a result of a virus. As a sidenote, Julia, featured in this montage, did receive her heart transplant. She was transplanted a little before AnnaSophia, and we got to meet her and her mom during Cardiac Clinic at Denver Children's Hospital.
