Exploring Frailty in Candidates for Lung Transplantation on JHLT the Podcast
JHLT: the Podcast continues its exploration of recent consensus statements by discussing "Assessing and Addressing Frailty in Candidates for Lung Transplantation: An ISHLT Consensus Statement."
The statement can be read on ISHLT.org and in JHLT—and a helpful companion perspective piece from the authors appears in the October print issue of JHLT.
Today’s guests are project leads Michaela Anderson, MD, MS, of the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, and Jonathan Singer, MD, MS, of the University of California San Francisco.
