Only 12 patients but still impressive impact of #exercise on physical capacity AND biomarkers in #HLHS s/p #Fontan after only 30min moderate exercise 3x week x 4 wks. Now that's impressive ROI! @daniel_forsha @SamWittekind @ACTION4HF @mgoschu pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3573…

We ARE Cincinnati. And we couldn’t be more proud of this team — these @Bengals will never stop fighting, and they aren’t going anywhere. This city stands tall tonight.
Who Dey.

Our Superman Sammy loves the @bengals! We're grateful for players @joeyb, @cj_uzomah, @sam_hubbard_, @joe_mainmixon, @mcpherson_evan, @Djread98, @teehiggins5, @khuber10 & the rest of the team for keeping his spirits high. He's rooting for you this Sunday @ the #SuperBowl! #WhoDey
Dancing, video games, and the Bengals are keeping his spirits high, so while he may be the tiniest Bengals fan, he may very well be the mightiest.

In 2021, our ♥️-Transplant and VAD teams had a historically busy year. They carried out 48 transplant evals & listed 31 patients - double the numbers from 2020. The VAD team also supported a record number of patients (17) as a bridge to transplant or for chronic therapy. Go team!

Decreased O2 utilization in sk muscle in #Fontan. Responsible for sarcopenia? Authors suggest high CVP as mechanism. I'd hypothesize decreased muscular capillary density. Role for exercise training? @mgoschu @SamWittekind @daniel_forsha @LubertMD pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3462…

The pediatric allocation for heart transplant is better but a 4 yr old rcm is a status 2 and a 1 yr old on milrinone is a 1b. Both may wait for an organ for > a year with this classification. Not good #pedsvad candidates. @ACTION4HF @PHTSociety
How are centers navigating the current pediatric heart allocation system and how can we make it better? This Thursday’s joint ACTION-@PHTSociety virtual learning session tackles this topic: bit.ly/2U7Rjde #TransplantTwitter #PedsTx #DonateLife
