How Organ Shortages Affect the Smallest of Heart Transplant Patients
Children's Hospital Los Angeles

The ongoing shortage of donor hearts for children who need them stems from multiple causes, including a lack of donor awareness, organ allocation issues, and not enough organs that are of sufficient quality to transplant. Currently, new hearts for kids are still hard to find, and they are even scarcer for babies. Infants are particularly hard to match with a heart.

Children's Hospital Los Angeles

A team led by Children’s Hospital Los Angeles has become the first in the world to demonstrate the possibility of using genetically engineered pig hearts as a potential “bridge” to heart transplant for critically ill babies. The groundbreaking preclinical research could lead to a lifesaving alternative for supporting critically ill babies waiting for a new heart—particularly those with single-ventricle heart disease, most of whom currently die while waiting for a transplant.

Managing Multiple Risk Factors Can Offset Hypertension Death Risk
Chinese Academy of Sciences

New research has shown that hypertensive individuals who maintain optimal control of several key health risk factors—such as blood pressure, cholesterol, and lifestyle behaviors—can significantly reduce their risk of dying prematurely. The study found that with each additional risk factor brought under control, the risk of death from cancer, cardiovascular disease, and other causes dropped substantially. Most importantly, those who achieved high levels of joint risk factor control had no greater risk of early death than people without hypertension. This suggests that a comprehensive, multi-pronged approach to managing hypertension could effectively eliminate the excess mortality risk associated with the condition.
