Excellent debate on need for RTC of🫀transplant v LVAD Cardiovascular Research Foundation #THT2024 with Nir Uriel, MD MSc‼️ #VAD outcomes now excellent, but (spoiler alert) field was not ready for RCT. Ultimately, shouldn't be a competition, still so much unmet need for both therapies!

100% of our HFrEF pts discharged this week left on BB, RASi, MRA, and SGLT2i .

All because of StanfordMedRes, pharmacists, and nurses working together.

So evident that high quality care is only
possible when systems in place to facilitate it Stanford Heart Failure, Cardiac Transplant and MCS Stanford Health Care
