Perfusion Fixed Human Heart Dissected Aorta

This is a perfusion fixed human heart that was donated for research. The donor was a 77 year old female with a history of hypertension, thyroid disorder, and stent placement. The heart has a high coverage of epicardial fat, and the aorta was mostly dissected for research studies. This heart uses reference ID: Heart0505. We partner with [LifeSource](https://www.life-source.org/) to receive donated organs deemed not viable for transplant.
