Heart to Heart with Anna

07-06-2022 • 35 mins

How can a 35-year-old HLHS Heart Warrior survive when he was born in Norway? What special considerations needed to be made when receiving care in the USA? Did this Heart Warrior have concerns about his children having a heart defect, too?


Lasse Fagereng was born in Norway with HLHS. His parents took him to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, where he had his first surgery at two days of age by Dr. Norwood. Today, Lasse is a healthy 35-year-old who owns and runs a fitness center and loves to work out. He is married with two heart-healthy sons aged 2 and 5 years. Thanks to his great experience with care, Lasse has a love for the USA, owns a second home there and loves to visit with his family.


We'll talk with Lasse about his experience being born with a very special heart in Norway, how he met his wife, and the concerns he and his wife had regarding the birth of his own sons. Lastly, he'll share with us how he feels about the United States, why he continues to travel to the US, and how COVID has affected his business.
