In this article, learn more about the Aeson TAH's estimate transpulmonic resistance(eTPR) monitoring system that the authors describe as a promising, noninvasive approach to managing #PH and assessing transplant eligibility in real time. 🔗: jhltonline.org/article/S1053-…

TheJHLT's tweet card. The Aeson total artificial heart (TAH) features embedded pressure sensors for flow autoregulation, which can also be used to estimate pressure gradients. In this bridge-to-transplant study, right and...

Nearly one quarter of donor #heart offer refusals may be due to reasons unrelated to the donors themselves. Several reasons that are significantly more common on weekends (vs. weekdays) and warrant further scrutiny. @KiranKhush1 🔗: jhltonline.org/article/S1053-…

TheJHLT's tweet card. Most donor hearts offered for heart transplant (HT) in the United States (US) are turned down. We aimed to understand the reasons for this – focusing on those related to the potential recipient and...
