The Pulse — April 2023

It was great to see many of you at ISHLT this month! Congratulations to the many authors and co-authors involved in the ACTION abstracts shared at ISHLT (details below).
We had over 100 members at the ACTION meeting who worked together to align Adverse Event definitions and learn about our new initiative—ACTION Global. The launch of ACTION Global is an expanded effort to involve more international sites with an end goal of improving patient outcomes globally by sharing data and practices around the world.

Happy Fall! We are looking forward to seeing you virtually during our Fall Meeting on Tuesday, November 8, from 1–5pm ET. Registration details are included below.
We have had a busy couple of months since our last newsletter in July, including the pilot launch of the Heart Failure registry, a successful Fontan Referral design meeting, and reaching over 1,000 patients entered into our VAD Registry. Join us for our Fall Meeting to see what’s coming for the rest of 2022!

It has been a few months since our last newsletter. We are trying a new communication method: a “Forecast” email goes out every two weeks with important dates, meetings and resources; and newsletter, which now include data visualizations, will be distributed quarterly.

We are looking forward to seeing many of you at ISHLT in April! If you haven’t already, please RSVP for the ACTION meeting on Tuesday, 4/26 from 3–6pm ET. The meeting is open to all ACTION members attending ISHLT.
In other exciting news, we are getting ready to launch the Berlin Heart Active Driver study! Communications have been sent out to 17 ACTION sites participating in this device trial, and study packets will follow soon. Collaboration and moving the field forward together is one of ACTION’s main principles, and this important trial will be the first of its kind for our network.

We hope you are all having a safe and healthy start to the new year! We are very excited to share that we submitted 9 ACTION abstracts to ISHLT, and all 9 abstracts were accepted! Details below and congratulations to the many authors and co-authors. We are also pleased to roll-out a new focus for our Discharge & De-Escalation project in which we will collect and review listing criteria at the time of transplant listing for VAD patients. We are also hopeful that we will have our first in-person meeting at ISHLT in April – stay tuned!
