Welcome to the Heart of the Matter: Cardiology Conversations at CHOP. In this podcast, made by and for the Cardiac Center at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, we interview members of our community about our history, innovative research, clinical programs and advocacy within our institution.

In this episode of Heart of the Matter, host Meryl Cohen sits down with Jack Rome as he reflects on his path into pediatric interventional cardiology and his front-row seat to the field’s rapid evolution, from early device innovation to today’s advanced catheter-based therapies. He shares how mentorship, curiosity, and a passion for hands-on problem solving shaped his career, while emphasizing the importance of training the next generation and continually pushing the boundaries of care.
