Coming Up on ISHLTv: The Future of Heart Transplantation
The Advanced Heart Failure and Transplantation Interdisciplinary Network will present an educational webinar on ISHLTv discussing what the heart transplant landscape may look like over the next decade.
Heart Transplantation 2035: Who, What, and Where Will the Next Heart Come From?
Wednesday, 9 December | 3:00-4:00 p.m. ET / 20:00-21:00 UTC
Heart transplantation is entering a period of rapid change. Advances in donor selection, organ preservation, mechanical circulatory support, xenotransplantation, and patient selection are challenging some of the assumptions that have traditionally defined transplantation. The session will bring together three perspectives around a single question: How will we decide who gets transplanted, which organs we accept, and whether the human donor heart remains the ultimate limiting resource?
ISHLTv webinars from the Interdisciplinary Networks are exclusively for ISHLT members. It is free to attend, but registration is required. A recording of the webinar will be available on YouTube for anyone who can’t attend it live.
