Her findings demonstrating that all patients, regardless of baseline renal function, experienced enhancements in quality of life after TAVR.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400\">National Recognition<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The accomplishments of Divya and Ciara reached new heights when both students presented their abstracts at the TVT Conference in Phoenix, AZ. It is rare for high school students to get the opportunity to present at national meetings of this nature.
