Heart Preserved Over 24 Hours: New Hope for Transplant Patients

Groundbreaking research demonstrates a significant advancement in heart transplant preservation, enabling pig hearts to be kept alive for over 24 hours using normothermic ex-vivo heart perfusion (NEHP). This method, which maintains donor hearts in a near-physiological state, could revolutionize the transplantation field by extending the viability period far beyond the current six-hour window.

For Former Football Players, Concussion and Hypertension Go Hand in Hand

The chance a former football player will be diagnosed with hypertension when they retire rises in step with the number of concussions they experienced during their career. High blood pressure may be another driver of cognitive decline in conjunction with repeated TBI for football players. However, controlling blood pressure could help slow both cardiovascular and cognitive decline.
