Drezden Plotkin
CHD Advocate & Podcast Host
The 1% Heart is hosted by Drezden Plotkin, an advocate for those born with CHDs. Drezden was born with 3 CHDs: pulmonary valve stenosis, pulmonary artery stenosis, and a VSD. He underwent several surgeries, including open-heart, before his 18th birthday.
Now he is determined to ensure that no CHD patient has to face these struggles alone. Through this podcast, Drezden wants to show patients today that there is a community ready and waiting to help them on their journeys.
Drawing from his personal experiences navigating the healthcare system as a CHD patient, Drezden brings authenticity and empathy to every conversation, creating a safe space for guests and listeners alike.
