After receiving lifesaving treatment at Stanford Medicine Children's Health, 17-year-old Rishi Radhakrishna is giving back in the form of music, turning his heart condition into hope for others.

Rishi was born with pulmonary stenosis—a congenital heart defect in which the pulmonary valve between the heart and lungs is abnormally thickened, increasing pressure within the heart’s right ventricle and making it harder for blood to flow from the heart to the lungs.

Now an intern in the lab of Casey Gifford, PhD, a Stanford School of Medicine scientist, Rishi was inspired to play at a piano concert to help raise funds for congenital heart disease research at Stanford Medicine. He played a set featuring classic rock hits from Billy Joel and Led Zeppelin, combining his passion for music with his hope of uncovering the underlying genetic causes of congenital heart disease.
