It’s October on JHLT: The Podcast! Join Daniel R. Goldstein, MD, Editor-in-Chief of JHLT, for a discussion with the JHLT Digital Media Editors about two studies in the October issue of The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation.

First, the editors have the pleasure of interviewing Stephen Hoole, MA, BM, BCh, DM, FRCP, FESC, FACC, Consultant Interventional Cardiologist at Royal Papworth Hospital and Honorary Senior Visiting Fellow at the University of Cambridge. Dr. Hoole is a the senior author on a paper entitled “Serial right heart catheter assessment between balloon pulmonary angioplasty sessions identify procedural factors that influence response to treatment.” Beginning at 1:34, Erika Lease, MD, and Marty Tam, MD, interview Dr. Hoole about the findings and applications of the paper and how it can benefit PH patients.

Starting at 13:00, Dr. Goldstein and David Schibilsky, MD, are in conversation about a second study from the October issue: “Reconditioning of circulatory death hearts by ex vivo machine perfusion with a novel HTK-N preservation solution,” written by Saemann and colleagues in Heidelberg, Germany.
