Episode 87: The Trifecta Heart Study: Assessing Donor Specific Antibodies in AMR

JHLT: The Podcast returns for July with a paper entitled "Comparing DSA-negative and DSA-positive antibody-mediated rejection in heart transplants: Results from the Trifecta-Heart study," available online now and in the July print issue of JHLT.

Today's guests are first author Katelynn S. Madill-Thomsen, PhD and senior author Philip F. Halloran, MD, PhD, both from the Alberta Transplant Applied Genomics Center in Canada.

In the episode, the authors and editors discuss:

• Striking similarities—and key differences—in the DSA-negative and DSA-positive groups
• Changes to clinical practice based on the findings, including innovations from the kidney transplant community
• Future studies, including tools and therapies that could be explored for improved clinical outcomes
