Join Daniel R. Goldstein, MD, Editor-in-Chief of JHLT, and the JHLT Digital Media Editors for two interviews with authors from the February issue of The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation.
First, the editors speak with Georg Hansmann, MD,
PhD, Associate Professor of Pediatrics at Hannover Medical
School. Dr. Hansmann is the lead author on a paper entitled
“Full recovery of right
ventricular systolic function in children undergoing bilateral lung
transplantation for severe PAH.” Beginning at 1:37,
Erika Lease, MD, interviews Dr. Hansmann about the
findings of the study, follow up recommendations, and potential
practice changes in clinical settings.
Starting at 14:27, Marty Tam, MD, is in
conversation with Jan Griffin, MD, Assistant
Professor of Medicine at Columbia University Irving Medical Center,
about her study from the February issue: “Surveillance for disease
progression of transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR) post heart
transplantation in the era of novel disease modifying
therapies.” Dr. Griffin discusses her team’s work on
transplanting patients with TTR cardiac amyloidosis, a structured
surveillance program, and disease modifying agents
post-transplant.
