Great lunchtime talk by 𝐄𝐮𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐞 𝐃𝐞𝐏𝐚𝐬𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐞, 𝐌𝐃 on non invasive surveillance for rejection with CareDx® technology. We need pediatric studies now so we can move away from routine heart biopsies in kids (anesthesia risks, complications higher). #ISHLT2022 PHTSociety ACTION

Great talk 👏. Data on pediatric patients coming soon #PedsVAD #PedsCard #PedsHTx #ISHLT2022

Berlin heart active driver study launched this weekend with ACTION - so excited to have a new driver!!!

A Stanford Children's heart transplant survivor is living life in color, giving thanks every day for her second chance at life. Today she'll be riding on the Donate Life Rose Parade float to raise awareness for organ donation. bit.ly/3Z241qv #roseparade2023 #donatelife

Alternative pacing sites are advocated to reduce LV dyssynchrony in CCAVB patients #PediatricCardiology #CardioTwitter Springer Cardiology link.springer.com/article/10.100…

"StartWithYes!" campaign has begun! Goal is to get everyone who evaluates organ donor offers to have this phrase in mind when the offer comes in. Use it! Tag it! Retweet it! Most importantly...StartWithYes! #StartWithYes #ACTION4HF #StanfordChildren's

In 2022, @StanfordChildren's listed 25 children for heart transplant and registered only one waitlist mortality. Our 96% survival despite a high-risk patient population is at least in party because we aggressively pursue every avail donor #StartWithYes!

Christian Inchaustegui, MD CardioSmart Victor Becerra We need Native Spanish-speaking cardiologists and teams to address these shortcomings! In #StudyOfLatinos 80% pts prefer Spanish despite living in the US for >10 years. Many instructions are nicely translated in the EMR but individualization is sorely needed! GladysMDHeart

What amazing conference this year! So thankful to #ISHLT2023 for the opportunity to present my 3 posters this year and to be one of the ISHLT Travel Award recipients. I couldn’t have done this without all my mentors at Stanford Children's Christopher Almond David Rosenthal Seth Hollander
