Amazing! 😀
As an immunocompromised transplant recipient, I know some activities have an increased infection risk. I also feel every animal deserves a cuddle. I have made a list of animals I plan to touch for preparation of them and their fellows. You're welcome! #dontrythisathome #Hearttx

What an incredible and moving story shared today by @LGlaucomflecken at #HFSA2026. Her powerful account of her husband’s sudden cardiac arrest is a reminder of the human side of heart failure and the profound impact on patients and their families. @DGlaucomflecken

Published today, Ethical Considerations for Heart Organ Allocation: Current Landscape and Future Policy Iterations, a Scientific Statement from the American Heart Association. There are 4 groups of decision-makers in transplantation. Each of these decision-makers has interests and motivations for participating in an organized allocation system, particularly in the setting of organ scarcity. ✍🏼 @KhazanieHeart @MarkDrazner @KBreathettMD @CohenProf @megfrasernp @KiranKhush1 @JRogersMD1 @laurentrubymd @P_StLaurent
