Great talk by Dr. Yael Peled Yael Peled on immune checkpoint inhibitors in HTx recipients. Clear, practical take-home messages on balancing cancer treatment and rejection risk. 📌 Sharing a helpful scheme shown during the session. #ISHLT2025 #HeartTransplant #Immunotherapy


May Quilty be associated with rejection and worse prognosis? 579 EMB matched with MMDx:42 non-rejection EMB had Quilty lesions 💠 4×↑rejection MMDx | 7×↑TCMR 💠 ↓ Stress blood flow → microvascular dysfunction 💠 No differences in graft function Andrea Fernandez Valledor, MD #ISHLT2025


Is 1R/1A truly “non-significant”? 454 EMB matched with MMDx. 91 ISHTL ACR 1R/1A 💠1R/1A EMB showed higher dd-cfDNA and GEP scores 💠 4× higher rejection rates on MMDx, mainly ABMR (60%) Andrea Fernandez Valledor, MD #ISHLT2025


In the SHORE registry, 1 in 3 EMBs post-HTx were redundant, performed despite negative dual non-invasive testing (GEP + dd-cfDNA). 📉 Higher EMB rates did not translate into better 1-year survival or graft function. 🧠 Time to rethink simultaneous EMB? #ISHLT2025 Jeff Teuteberg



👑 The king under fire? In the SHORE registry, patients with abnormal DNIT (GEP↑ + dd-cfDNA↑) but negative EMB had worse outcomes, primarily driven by graft dysfunction. 💣 Is it time to dethrone EMB as the gold standard? #ISHLT2025 Nir Uriel, MD MSc




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.


Dr.Veli Topkara presents a new renal risk score predicting AKI requiring dialysis after heart transplant. Derived from >15,000 UNOS patients (2018–2024) 🔺High-risk (score >6) → 24% dialysis, ↓ 5-yr graft survival 💡 May help to better individualize risks. #ISHLT2025



III 🧬 Bootcamp - what an enlightening and didactic course by Hospital Universitari Bellvitge | HUB + Health in Code 💡 can't recommend it enought to everyone dealing with #cardiomyopathy patients! 🫀 Gracias y enhorabuena Fernando de Frutos Juan Pablo Ochoa María Valverde Gómez Almudena Amor
