Key Information: ISHLT membership (or application) by due date is required for eligibility.
Description
This grant funds research aimed at advancing the understanding and management of cardiogenic shock in heart failure patients, specifically through the use of temporary mechanical circulatory support (tMCS). Projects may focus on early identification of patients, device selection and escalation, weaning strategies, optimal criteria for tMCS use, management protocols, combined therapies, and the application of artificial intelligence or data science to predictive modeling for heart recovery. The program is designed to support junior faculty or clinician-scientists who are dedicated to improving outcomes in cardiogenic shock and have demonstrated experience in tMCS.
