🌍How do countries decide who gets a donor heart first? This research article analyzes heart allocation policies globally. Across 29 countries, 93% of allocation systems use urgency tiers. But how urgency, MCS priority, & exceptions are defined varies widely. 🔗 bit.ly/4xN1bXq

A good heart is hard to find. So how do different countries decide how to allocate each donor heart. The answer is surprisingly complex and raises questions about what we’re trying to achieve with #hearttransplantation www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

RCTs: Crucial Yet Crucially Limited

RCTs do NOT estimate average effects; they also rarely EXPLAIN that which they have demonstrated.

great kickoff to #ishlt2025 Dr. Rebecca Cogswell presenting important updates to 🫀🫁 registry

It's #ISHLT2025 Pre-Conference day! More than 490 medical professionals have come together to dive deeper into #CardiogenicShock, #LungTransplantation, #LungFailure, #CTEPH, and #HealthEquity topics with experts from around the world. 💡🌏

Agree. All the physiological variables that contribute to shock are continuous. Need to move beyond categorisation.

ICU Hemodynamics: We divide patients with circulatory shock into 3 primary hemodynamic phenotypes, namely hypovolemic, vasodilatory/distributive, & cardiogenic (including obstructive) But we all witness/manage "mixed" shock, an entity lacking a uniform, evidence-based definition:
