Had a great first day at the inaugural UCSF Heart Failure symposium in Sonoma. Terrific turnout, great engagement, interesting discussions. What a fantastic venue for an intimate meeting. The first of many! #ucsfhearttransplant #ucsfsurgery #ucsfheartfailure #ucsfheartsinsonoma – at Fetters Hot Springs, CA

On this day in 1968, Norman Shumway performed the first successful heart transplant in the US at Stanford. The receipient was a 54 yo steel worker, and lived for 14 days. The landmark operation created a burst of enthusiasm for heart transplantation. #CTSurgery
