In this episode of Heart to Heart with Anna, we welcome Frank Jaworski back to the program. Frank shares information about anesthesia when patients go to the electrophysiology lab (EP lab), especially when they need to undergo an ablation.

Frank is a certified, registered nurse anesthetist (CRNA) and he has been delivering anesthesia for over 23 years. One of his favorite departments to work with is the EP lab. In this episode, Frank shares some tips to help those in the congenital heart defect community reduce their concerns when visiting the EP lab, he offers some helpful questions patients can ask their anesthesia providers, and even shares some tips for how to reduce anxiety during their EP visits.

The 2nd and 3rd Segments involve Anna reading from The Heart of a Heart Warrior Volume Two: Endurance. This is one of the newest books from Baby Hearts Press. This is the second in a 3-book series of essays and works of art by adults with congenital heart defects.

In this podcast episode, Anna will read from the front matter of the book, including the Foreword, Preface, and Introduction.
