Decoding a Transplanted Heart One Cell at a Time

Needs Statement

Clinical physicians, physician-scientists, basic scientists, other healthcare professionals, and trainees require regular updates on mechanisms, novel therapeutics, and medical and surgical technologies to manage cardiovascular diseases and on cardiovascular basic, translational, and clinical science. The series aims to expand the knowledge of learners specifically with regard to the pathophysiology and physiology of cardiovascular disease, the mechanisms of cardiovascular science and clinical studies, the analysis and interpretation of results, and the integration of findings into science and clinical practice. A focus of the series will be to discuss the basic science underlying cardiovascular clinical studies and professional guidelines and thereby promote a wider dissemination of this information to achieve evidence-based patient care.

Target Audience

Physicians, fellows, residents, and other healthcare providers.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of the activity, the participants should be able to:
  • Recognize the power of single-cell genomics and computational technologies in elucidating clinical challenges in heart transplantation.
  • Differentiate the cell populations derived from organ donors and transplant recipients.
  • Assess the unique dynamics of donor and recipient cell populations across the lifespan of a transplant.
  • Propose strategies aimed at targeting specific cells to enhance the endurance of transplanted organs.
