In this episode of JHLT: The Podcast, the Digital Media Editors host a discussion on a new consensus statement from ISHLT on Short Telomere Syndrome (STS) and Lung Transplantation. The document was first published last month.

They're joined by document leads Andrew Courtwright, MD, PhD, of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia; Dr. John Mackintosh of Prince Charles Hospital in Brisbane; and John McDyer, MD, of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center in Pittsburgh.

The conversation includes discussion of:

  • Recommendations for assessing patients for STS
  • Which patients we should screen
  • How the diagnosis influences transplant decision making and risk assessment
  • How STS impacts immunosuppression
  • Extrapulmonary comorbidities
  • Future areas for research

ISHLT Standards, Guidelines, and Consensus Statements are open to all at ISHLT.org.

Return later this month for a conversation on barriers and opportunities in utilizing DCD hearts in transplantation.
