Primary Audience: BSTR
Secondary Audience: LF/LTX, PATH

Session Summary: The pathologies of Chronic Lung Allograft Dysfunction (CLAD) have been recognized since 1984, yet their mechanisms and definitive treatments remain enigmatic. Indeed, there are multiple rival hypotheses as to the cause of CLAD. Is CLAD a final common pathway, an integration of pathobiologies, or are some pathways overriding? This symposium will describe the scientific evidence for some of these pathways.

Session Summary: Mechanical unloading of the left ventricle is a potent platform through which to study reverse remodeling. While we now understand that sufficient “recovery” to allow for device explantation is realistic in only a select population, the concept of reverse remodeling during LVAD still has much broader application. This symposium will highlight reverse remodeling during MCS starting with basic physiology and moving through clinical topics and commencing with a view to the future.

Session Summary: In collaboration with the Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (SCMR), this symposium will address how CMR advances in structural and functional imaging techniques have led to better cardiac tissue and anatomical characterization in complex patients. We will address its clinical role in the management of cardiomyopathies and heart transplant and explore pathological and imaging relationships while addressing standard and novel CMR based diagnostic approaches including contrast free imaging and imaging in patients with pacemakers.

Session Summary: This symposium will explore the complex decision making in the care of patients with end stage pulmonary hypertension awaiting lung transplantation. Should patients with pulmonary hypertension ever be offered combined heart and lung transplantation? Should patients with Group 3 pulmonary hypertension be offered vasodilators as they become sicker before transplantation? Can urgency-based allocation systems be fair to patients with pulmonary hypertension?

Session Summary: The paucity of donors is still the primary limitation for heart transplantation across the world. Too many donor hearts are not accepted for concerns over particular risk factors. This symposium will explore novel ways to expand the donor pool. In a time when the waiting lists grow exponentially, our field must find ways to maximize donor utilization.

Session Summary: In collaboration with the Pulmonary Vascular Research Institute (PVRI), this symposium will provide an overview into the mechanisms, clinical diagnosis and management of chronic right heart failure in left heart disease, scleroderma, and pulmonary hypertension. There will be a focus on the identification of maladaptive remodeling with discussion of the mechanisms contributing to maladaptive remodeling in right heart failure. We will explore the relationship of right ventricular function to functional capacity and highlight a debate on exercise challenge during right heart catheterization.
