ACTIONFellows

ACTION turns 4 years old this month! We’ve quickly grown from 5 centers to nearly every children’s hospital in the U.S. that performs #PedsVAD. Thank you to our amazing collaborators, providers, and most important, our patients! #PedsHF #ACHD #CHD #CardioTwitter #PedsICU

The #ISHLT #COVID19 Task Force has developed a NEW and concise document to guide donor and recipient selection for #cardiothoracic #transplantation focused on testing for SARS-CoV-2 and various related clinical scenarios. Download it now at ishlt.org/covid-19-infor…. @DocSaimaAslam

150 people on the @ACTION4HF spring meeting today! Loving the sharing of pearls and pitfalls by all the #Pediatric centers! Steal shamelessly and share seamlessly! #PedsHF #CardioTwitter @ACTIONFellows
