Our paper “The cardiovascular evaluation of candidates for living kidney donation” is here! We highlight the cardiac evaluation of this special population, the doctors of whom often find themselves in unique medical predicaments.. Thank you @RaviDhingraMD
🚨 We’re so close to the finish line! 🚨
We’ve raised over $9,200 toward our $10,000 goal for the AST Virtual Run and Fitness Challenge - and we need your help to get across it!
Every dollar supports transplant research to help organ recipients live longer, healthier lives. 💚
👉 Donate now or join the challenge: get moving, log your miles, and help us honor the 48,149 transplants performed in the U.S. last year - one mile at a time.
Let’s finish strong together: https://t.co/lyighHwDni

Yesterday, Rubio terminated 5800 USAID contracts – more than 90% of its foreign aid programs – in defiance of the courts.
Here’s a list of just some of the lifesaving awards that were terminated. Nearly all were Congressional mandated. They've saved millions of lives. 🧵

Can we improve survival for advanced HF patients who have obesity or high PVR and still require transplant? @FarhanRazaMD
Hypothesis or scientific evidence?
Tips for those taking donor calls! @uw_cvm@UWMadison@UWHealth
For heart transplant recipients with obesity or high PVR, undermatching donors by predicted heart mass is associated with higher post-transplant risk. https://t.co/oEjbFT0a7z
