Are we all being too picky when it comes to increased LV wall thickness on donor hearts? Perhaps yes. Dr Christian O’Donnell Stanford Medicine presents intriguing insights on how we might refine the process.

We’re proud to share that Dr. Christian O’Donnell has received the 2025 Christopher O’Connor Early Investigator Award for his heart transplant research. He was also named a finalist for the ISHLT Philip K. Caves Award for his innovative use of AI in donor heart evaluation.

Managing multiple valvular heart diseases (MVD) isn’t just about stacking up isolated valve lesions. These cases involve complex, interdependent pathophysiology that challenges conventional diagnostics and treatment timing. #CardioTwitter #ValvularHeartDisease

Here's an awesome talk on RV monitoring by Jedi Master Andre! thinkingcriticalcare.com/2025/06/11/the…

You made it! Congrats to this year’s Critical Care Anesthesia fellows—thank you for the excellence, teamwork, and countless hours you poured into our ICUs. We’re lucky to have worked alongside you.

Ever wondered what determines the hemodynamic impact of tricuspid regurgitation? What is the impact of RegVol/RegFr on RA V waves and on stroke volume? What the impact of RA compliance on RA V waves? Can we safely use indirect Fick in tricuspid regurgitation? Circ: Heart Failure 🧵👇

Nearly one quarter of donor #heart offer refusals may be due to reasons unrelated to the donors themselves. Several reasons that are significantly more common on weekends (vs. weekdays) and warrant further scrutiny. Kiran Khush 🔗: jhltonline.org/article/S1053-…

1/ Shock is complex. But our tools are often simplistic. This paper proposes a new model: 🩸 Four circulatory interfaces that must stay coupled to maintain perfusion. Uncouple any one — and shock worsens. #Shock #MedX #FOAMcc Here’s the framework. 🔗 doi.org/10.3390/jpm150…

This 2021 review on #POCUS for hemodynamic assessment, published in ASN Kidney360, remains one of the most cited on this topic (💯+). Grateful for the continued support; especially proud to have co-authored it with Nathaniel Reisinger and Eduardo R Argaiz, co-founders of IAPN, back when

Reasons for donor #heart offer refusal vary widely by region and over time in the USA, in a manner unexplained by differences in the donors themselves - highlighting the highly subjective nature of heart donor assessment. Kiran Khush 🔗: jhltonline.org/article/S1053-…
