Heart Matters, executive produced by another former CBS star, Amy Brenneman (Private Practice, Judging Amy), was inspired by the life of Dr. Kathy Magliato and her book of the same name. It is a medical soap that follows the outspoken Alex Panttiere, one of the rare female heart-transplant surgeons. Alex brings an innovative eye to treating patients week to week while also balancing the complications of her professional and romantic life.
