Dr. Low performed Connecticut’s first successful heart transplant at Hartford Hospital in 1984. It wasn’t until the FDA approval of cyclosporine, an immune-suppression drug, that Dr. Low was able to persuade the hospital’s board to let him perform the transplant on Andrzej Jan Buczek.

Hartford Hospital’s heart center is named after Dr. Low.
