All ISHLT members with an interest in MCS are invited to join the ISHLT Mechanical Circulatory Support Discussion Group. Subscribers will be able to join a worldwide community of MCS professionals. This group will cover all topics related to MCS and only members will be able to post and view group content. We hope to make this the premier site to discuss difficult management issues, gaps in knowledge, or to tap into the expertise of your colleagues. To receive an invitation to join, please send an introductory email to our discussion group moderator, Jeff Teuteberg, at teutebergjj@upmc.edu - from your professional email address with credentials (name, professional title, affiliation and full contact information). Sorry, this group is not open to industry.
