When the heart fails to pump enough blood, mechanical pumps are implanted to assist, but they can sometimes cause heart failure to worsen. @KKLamberti, Stephen Keller, & #JClinic PI Elazer @EdelmanLab developed a methodology & metric to predict this risk. news.mit.edu/2024/new-test-…

A new test could predict how patients will respond to a mechanical pump after a heart attack. This could help doctors prevent the heart’s right and left ventricles from becoming imbalanced, a dangerous condition affecting many patients. mitsha.re/qcCb50QBU4M

A new study from researchers in @mit_imes and @mit_hst sheds light on why heart pumps fail to help some patients with cardiac problems. They developed a new test to help predict patients' responses to the pumps. news.mit.edu/2024/new-test-…

The new issue of #ScienceTranslationalMedicine is out now!  Transplants of lung stem cells for COPD prove safe in an early clinical trial, a new generation of adoptive #Tcells shows promise against refractory multiple myeloma in mice, and more. scim.ag/5S3

In her presentation at the 8th Annual A-Cure Symposium - Pulmonary Vascular Dynamics Determines Right Heart Tolerance of LV MCS - @KKLamberti discussed clinical challenges to pVAD unloading. Watch her full presentation here: a-cure.org/resources/?_sf…

Saturday’s PRISM Club members explored cardiac physiology and engineering, and built a working EKG! Shoutouts to @ragoninstitute, @MIT_IMES, @mit_hst for making it all possible! Also to @KKLamberti @manisha_s1ngh and Connor Verheyen from @ellenroche lab!
