Episode 49: The Evaluation and Care of Cardiac Transplant Candidates

On this episode of JHLT: The Podcast, the Digital Media Editors discuss a new guidelines document from the ISHLT entitled “The 2024 ISHLT Guidelines for the Evaluation and Care of Cardiac Transplant Candidates.”

The lead co-authors of the document—Yael Peled, MD, and Anique Ducharme, MD, MSc—are on the podcast to discuss the document.

You’ll hear about:

• Challenges in drafting such an overarching document
• Highlights for clinicians
• Major changes in the document since the last version
• How changes in durable and temporary MCS affect use of the document
