First DCD heart transplant performed last night Johns Hopkins Medicine by Chetan Pasrija Antonio Polanco, MD! Milestone moment for Johns Hopkins Cardiology and Johns Hopkins Cardiothoracic Surgery ! Incredible dedication and efforts by all team members. Ahmet Kilic Steve Hsu Nisha Gilotra Joban Vaishnav Paul Scheel…

Why does late RHF occur post LVAD?

LVAD unloading diminishes septal contraction, which weakens RV contractility. Coupled with persistent RV afterload, it leads to RV-PA uncoupling in the LVAD. Ryan J Tedford MD Brian Houston MD Navin Kapur Jon Grinstein MD Mark Belkin

Check it out! We loved doing this work and continue to do so. Many insights to be gained from PVL and correlation with clinical variables to try and bring to the broader LVAD patient community

Johns Hopkins Medicine on full display! A tour de force presentation on all things RV featuring Hopkins Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine Johns Hopkins Cardiology Paul Scheel Steve Hsu Ari Cedars Stephen Mathai 🫁🫀💥

Debating the esteemed Greg Lewis is a tall task! Just glad I didn’t wet the bed … I think. 😅

Was eager to join his side by the end of his amazing talk. Exercise hemos are the preferred stress test for HF pts.

Join us on Sunday at #ACC .24 as we debate three key hemodynamic topics facing our field today. We have a star studded cast on both sides of each debate!

You don’t want to miss this #ACC24 panel with Stephen Mathai Steve Hsu Ari Cedars Paul Scheel as they discuss Assessing and Managing the RV Across the Cardiopulmonary Disease Spectrum.

Appreciate JHLT for featuring our work! Tune in to learn about how LVAD unloading of the LV is associated with a loss of septal contractility that weakens intrinsic RV Ees (contractility).

Looking forward to catching up with Johns Hopkins Cardiology colleagues at #ACC24 in sunny Atlanta! Lots of great science and education to look forward to! American College of Cardiology Maryland Chapter, American College of Cardiology Ari Cedars Steve Hsu Sammy Zakaria Garima Sharma M.D

Amazing Johns Hopkins Cardiology HF Grand Rounds talk on “Approach to Antibodies in Heart Transplantation” by none other than the legend Michelle Kittleson MD PhD! Always so informative, always so inspiring! #kittlesonrules Nisha Gilotra Steve Hsu Ed Kasper Antonio Polanco, MD Ahmet Kilic Chetan Pasrija…

Happy Heart Month and National Women Physicians Day tomorrow! Proud of our Johns Hopkins Cardiology HF/Transplant team this week performing 5 heart transplants in 7 days! Kudos to Antonio Polanco, MD Chetan Pasrija Ahmet Kilic and our multiD teams! Nisha Gilotra Steve Hsu Ed Kasper…

A must read: Steve Hsu and Paul Scheel - key insights into #ThePeoplesVentricle & LVADs.

⬆️LVAD speed may impact RV function via septum
⬇️LVAD speed may impact RV function via afterload
🚨Excellent study of RV physiology using PV loops by Steve Hsu. PAPi as the best surrogate for RV-PA coupling?
