Mashup Score: 16JHLT: The Podcast: Episode 37: December 2023 - 5 month(s) ago
In our final episode of 2023, the JHLT Digital Media Editors have two manuscripts from the December 2023 issue of The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation! Digital Media Editor Erika Lease, MD, transplant pulmonologist at the University of Washington in Seattle, hosts this episode. First, a free-ranging conversation with first author Mark E. Snyder, MD, and senior author John F. McDyer, MD, on their team’s study “.” A subset of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) have a heritable, age-adjusted short telomere length. Mutations in telomere length can manifest as T-cell dysfunction and immunodeficiency. As T-cells are involved in the development of acute cellular rejection (ACR), the authors hypothesized that the combination of age and telomere length would impact the degree of ACR burden in lung transplant recipients—and indeed, the authors found that lung transplant recipients with IPF and short telomere length had premature “aging” of their circulating T-Cells.

It’s pulmonary hypertension month on JHLT: The Podcast! The JHLT Digital Media Editors explore two PVD-related manuscripts from the November issue of The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation. Digital Media Editor Marty Tam, MD, assistant professor in the division of cardiovascular medicine at the University of Michigan, hosts this episode. First, hear from first author Zvonimir Rako, MD, on his team’s study “.” The right ventricle (RV) has a complex contraction pattern. For patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH), right ventricular to pulmonary artery (RV-PA) coupling is important when considering how the RV responds to increases in afterload. Uncoupling occurs with progressive disease and the degree of uncoupling can be derived from pressure–volume loop analysis as the ratio between end-systolic and arterial elastance (Ees/Ea). In this exploratory analysis of the prospective EXERTION study, the authors determined the relationship between RV contraction patterns and RV-PA

The JHLT Digital Media Editors explore two manuscripts from the October issue of The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation—the first on lung transplantation in patients with stacked risks, and the second on bacterial pathogens found at driveline exit sites in patients with ventricular assist devices. Digital Media Editor Marty Tam, MD, assistant professor in the division of cardiovascular medicine at the University of Michigan, hosts this episode. First, hear from senior author Edward Cantu, MD, MSCE, on his team’s study “.” Lung transplant centers are increasingly evaluating patients with multiple risk factors for adverse post-transplant outcomes, yet there is little data of the effects of these risks as they stack. The authors of the study used the UNOS registry data linked to the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) to create a national encounter-level sample of healthcare data in the United States, then applied a probabilistic matching algorithm using 7 variables and determined

In this special issue of JHLT: The Podcast, the JHLT Digital Media Editors explore just one study—and devote the second half of the episode as a tribute to recently retired Editor-in-Chief, Dr. Daniel R. Goldstein. Digital Media Editor Van-Khue Ton, MD, heart failure and transplant cardiologist at Massachusetts General Hospital, hosts this episode. First, hear from senior author William F. Parker, MD, MS, PhD, on his team’s study “.” Dr. Parker is a pulmonary and critical care physician, health services researcher, and clinical medical ethicist, and he runs a R01 funded lab focusing on the allocation of scarce healthcare resources. In the study, Dr. Parker and colleagues set out to examine the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR) to compare medical urgency of heart transplant patients listed with exception vs. those listed according to standard guidelines. The study’s main finding: after controlling for status as a time-varying covariate, candidates with an exception

The JHLT Digital Media Editors explore two manuscripts from the August issue of The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation—the first on immunosuppression in pediatric heart transplantation, and the second TA-NRP in DCD lung transplantation. Digital Media Editor Van-Khue Ton, MD, heart failure and transplant cardiologist at Massachusetts General Hospital, hosts this episode. First, hear from senior author Steven C. Greenway, MSc, MD, on his team’s study “.” Dr. Greenway shares his journey from enzyme biochemistry in mollusks, snails, and frogs to pediatric cardiology, then outlines the results of the paper. The study queried the Pediatric Heart Transplant Society’s registry to determine the efficacy and safety of monotherapy immunosuppression. The results showed better graft survival and less coronary allograft vasculopathy in the monotherapy group, even after adjusted for age at transplant, sex, neonatal transplant, infection, PTLD, and etiology of cardiomyopathy.
