In episode 400 of the RV Miles podcast, we celebrate nearly nine years of the show, and reflect on how the show and our RV life have evolved since 2017. To mark the milestone, we're offering up five RV trip ideas based only on places we've visited: a first-time RV trip to the Black Hills/Badlands, a spring wildlife-focused Yellowstone trip, scenic drives with Durango as a base including the Million Dollar Highway and Mesa Verde, a national parks power trip linking Grand Teton, Yellowstone, Devils Tower, Badlands and Wind Cave (plus options like Glacier or Theodore Roosevelt), and a slow-travel route from Astoria, Oregon to Seattle via Olympic National Park.  *Support independent RV journalism and unlock great perks by becoming a Mile Marker

What if the loudest voice in your life stopped being the grind and started being God? That's the spark behind our conversation with Brooks McDonald, a high-energy insurance entrepreneur who married young, built and sold an agency, and then chose to slow down so his faith and family could breathe. We trace his path from a conservative church childhood to a fuller experience of grace and the Holy Spirit, not through hype but through patient friendships that made room for questions, practice, and fruit.Brooks opens up about the years he chased deals across the mergers and acquisitions world while Cari-Beth carried the load at home—and what finally changed. COVID became a reset as the family spent fifteen weeks in an RV, rediscovering presence over performance. He shares the “1690 principle” he uses to align decisions: what advice would he give his 16-year-old self, and what will his 90-year-old self wish he'd done with his time? That frame leads to practical choices about marriage, parenting, and work that protect what really lasts.We also dig into everyday obedience. When the leader of a small morning prayer group couldn't be there, Brooks picked up the baton. Showing up consistently drew 20 to 30 people who now gather to pray, listen, and grow. The takeaway is simple and freeing: you don't need a theology degree to lead; you need a willing heart and steady steps. We talk about three pillars that keep your soul anchored—read Scripture daily, commit to a Bible-believing church, and join a small group where you can be known and accountable.As Brooks transitions out of a private equity-backed role, he describes “headlights distance” faith: you rarely see the whole road, just the next stretch, and that's enough. We explore how to wait well, fight fear and anxiety with community and wise counsel, and prepare for big moves through fasting, prayer, and the Word. If you're sensing a nudge but stalling out in uncertainty, this story will meet you with hope, clarity, and a push to take the next step.If this resonates, share it with a friend, subscribe for more candid conversations, and leave a review to help others find the show.

Ever wondered what really happens behind the scenes at an RV show? In this episode of RV Small Talk, PJ from Princess Craft RV and Lindsey Gabbard pull back the curtain and share the real story of what it takes to prepare for a big RV show. From the chaos of setting up dozens of trailers to the truth about “show prices,” promos, and last-minute changes, they reveal secrets most people never see. You'll hear about the intense preparation, the constant layout changes when units sell before the show, and how dealerships try to guide visitors through every aisle so you don't miss anything. They also break down how RV show deals really work, what to watch out for with pricing and fees, and why you should always ask for a drive-out price when comparing trailers. If you've ever attended an RV show or are thinking about buying a camper, this episode gives you insider knowledge that can help you make smarter decisions.

On this episode of The Ty Brady Way, Ty sits down with Chris Avery for a long awaited return appearance, and the reason is simple: the people demanded it. After Chris's first appearance where he shared how he ran a marathon with zero training, listeners flooded the comments with amazement and curiosity. So Ty brings him back to answer the question everyone was asking: what happened after that first marathon, and how did it lead to 1,500 straight days of running? Chris breaks down why the streak is far harder and far more meaningful than the single marathon that started it all, and why showing up every day, even sick, even broken, even at 11 PM, is what actually builds the person you want to become. Chris opens up about the moment the streak was born. He made the decision on January 8th, 2022, and was running by January 9th. No lag time, no overthinking, no room for doubt to creep in. He explains that most people kill their biggest dreams in the space between deciding and doing, and that acting fast is what turns a good idea into a real identity. Right now he is running 18 miles a day, burning through a pair of shoes every month, and waking up sore nearly every morning. But as he puts it, the soreness is worse lying in bed than once he gets moving, and the hardest part of every single day is simply getting out the door. Chris also pulls back the curtain on his ultimate goal: starting January 1st, 2027, he will run the perimeter of America, covering 50K (31.1 miles) every single day for 365 straight days, finishing December 31st, 2027. One man, one family, one RV. If completed, he will become the first person ever to run an ultra marathon distance consecutively around the country, surpassing the current record of roughly 200 days. He talks about the role his wife, his brotherhood, and his faith have played in keeping him going through shin splints, hernias, blown shoulders, and one brutal night with the flu where finishing felt impossible but quitting felt worse. He shares how a single question from a brother in his community, asking what it would take just to get started, was enough to reset his mind and get him out the door at 11 PM, finishing as the sun came up the next morning. His message is direct and personal: everybody has something calling them. Stop suppressing it. Stop delaying it. Breathe life into it and go do it, because as Les Brown says, the richest place in the world is the graveyard, full of symphonies never composed, books never written, and ideas that never got the chance to change the world. Chris refuses to add to that count, and after this episode, you just might too. As always, we would like to hear from you! Email us at thetybradyway@gmail.com Or DM us on Instagram @thetybradyway

This inaugural episode of the CardioNerds Pulmonary Embolism (PE) Series explores the evolution of acute PE care. Dr. Ibrahim Zahid, Dr. Dinu Balanescu, and Dr. Billy Joe Mullinax join guest expert Dr. Kenneth Rosenfield to discuss the shifting landscape of PE management. Pulmonary embolism (PE) remains a leading cause of cardiovascular mortality and a frequent diagnostic challenge, often masquerading as myocardial infarction or a benign illness. Over the past decade, PE care has evolved from anticoagulation-only strategies to nuanced, risk-stratified, multidisciplinary management. Modern approaches integrate hemodynamics, biomarkers, and advanced imaging to guide therapy, including catheter-directed interventions and large-bore thrombectomy. The Pulmonary Embolism Response Team (PERT) model addresses historical gaps by coordinating rapid, multispecialty decision-making and standardizing care pathways. The PERT Consortium further advances PE care through education, research, and the world's largest PE registry, while fostering leadership and research opportunities for trainees. Despite advances, long-term outcomes and post-PE syndromes remain important areas for future investigation. Audio editing by CardioNerds Academy intern, student doctor, Pace Wetstein.

Pearls PE is a “master masquerader”—maintain suspicion for atypical presentations like myocardial infarction, heart failure, flu, or anxiety. Multidisciplinary management mediated through pulmonary embolism response teams improves outcomes and standardizes care. Risk stratification integrates hemodynamics, biomarkers, and imaging. Advanced therapies have expanded beyond anticoagulation. Long‑term follow‑up and post‑PE syndrome need more research. Notes Notes: Notes drafted by Dr. Ibrahim Zahid. 1. How has the clinical approach to PE changed over the past decade? PE is the third leading cause of cardiovascular death and historically under‑recognized. Symptoms mimic MI, HF, asthma, syncope, and more.PE is a silent killer, and it should be recognized more as a cause of spontaneous cardiac arrest. Where life threatening disease like stroke which is owned by neurological specialists and MI is primarily managed by cardiac specialists, PE is an entity without a professional home. The PERT Consortium brings the specialties together for PE care. 2. Ten years ago, a 58-year-old patient with a large bilateral PE, RV dilation, and positive biomarkers might have been managed with anticoagulation and close observation alone. Today, with evolving—but still uneven—data on advanced therapies, PE care feels far more nuanced and highly dependent on where you practice. What are the major gaps in traditional PE management that clinicians should recognize, and what care pathways should they be aware of across different hospital systems? Care has shifted from anticoagulation‑only to multidisciplinary approaches like catheter directed thrombectomy. Risk‑based pathways and the use of CT angiogram has improved early recognition. Risk stratification tools must be used as tools for early recognition of intermediate risk PE. Untreated PE leads to chronic complications like chronic thromboembolic disease and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, which requires long term clinic follow up. 3. What is the role of risk stratification tools such as PeSI, sPeSI scores, cardiac biomarkers, and imaging findings in PE, and how do they guide treatment decisions in real world practice? Integrate vitals (blood pressure and heart rate), biomarkers (troponin, pro-BNP), RV/LV ratio assessment, acid‑base status, and scores. Tools include PESI, sPESI, BOVA, HESTIA, FAST, Geneva, NEWS, shock index. Vitals, lactate, acid-base status, and tools like NEWS or shock index track clinical evolution. PESI/sPESI estimate 30-day mortality and help identify low-risk patients who may be candidates for early discharge or outpatient therapy. Clinical judgment matters—scores don't fully capture clot burden, trajectory, or bleeding risk. 4. How was the pulmonary embolism response team created, and since its creation, what evidence or outcome data became available to support the PERT model? Originated after a sentinel case at MGH: A young, pregnant woman in her 30s, who collapsed at home, underwent thrombectomy, and had to be on ECMO for a few days. The case brought cardiology, cardiac surgeons and critical care physicians together for planning and improvement in her health, which was rewarding. Thereby, it was decided to bring specialties involved in PE care together to create a response team. The name of the team, Pulmonary Embolism Response Team (PERT), was coined by Richard Channick in the first meeting. Posters were set up all over the hospital to call a centralized line when an acute PE is recognized A meeting was held to present the concept of putting together a consortium, with development of action items and a PERT database. Enabled rapid multidisciplinary input using early teleconferencing tools. 5. Given concerns about having too many ‘cooks in the kitchen' during the initial PE call—especially with rotating teams—how can institutions reconcile workflow complexity with standardized pathways in a way that meaningfully supports and justifies the added burden on frontline clinicians? Every hospital's PERT is different, catering to their needs and workflow At least two disciplines are needed to make a PERTData is currently being collected to guide further on how the workflow can be standardized Most importantly, the team brings in resources that were not available prior to PERT formation. 6. What are the main goals of the PERT consortium, and how does it support clinicians and institutions involved? To improve care and improve outcomes for patients with PE Expand education, refine algorithms, standardize care with Centers of Excellence. Maintain the largest PE registry for research and outcomes improvement. 7. Beyond global networking, shared learning from successful systems, and the pathway toward Center of Excellence designation, what additional benefits can clinicians and health systems gain by participating in the PERT Consortium? The ability to learn from other systems, the ability to share experiences. Allow people to develop their professional careers like leadership experience, becoming a member of the trainee council Initiate projects and receive funding for your ideas 8. For trainees interested in pulmonary embolism care, how can a trainee be a champion at their institution? Does PERT provide assistance and how can they really contribute meaningfully even before becoming a fellow/attending? Medical students and residents interested in PE should reach out to the consortium and the consortium will hook you up with the correct mentors who can nurture you along. Listen to the podcasts. Participate with your local PERT team PERT wants involvement of people who are social media savvy to help spread the word on PE. Top three take-away points from this episode Acute PE care has advanced and multiple treatment modalities for acute PE including catheter directed therapy, large bore thrombectomy, are becoming standard of care. Multidisciplinary models like PERT improve coordination and outcomes. Trainees play a vital role in advancing PE care through involvement, research, and education References Konstantinides SV, Meyer G, Becattini C, Bueno H, Geersing GJ, Harjola VP, Huisman MV, Humbert M, Jennings CS, Jiménez D, Kucher N, Lang IM, Lankeit M, Lorusso R, Mazzolai L, Meneveau N, Ní Áinle F, Prandoni P, Pruszczyk P, Righini M, Torbicki A, Van Belle E, Zamorano JL; ESC Scientific Document Group. 2019 ESC Guidelines for the diagnosis and management of acute pulmonary embolism developed in collaboration with the European Respiratory Society (ERS).

Homes hold memories. They hold family history, meaning, and for many, a lifetime of love. But as we age, the very places that once felt secure can quietly become harder—and riskier—to live in. Most homes in the U.S. were never designed for aging bodies. Yet many older adults feel emotionally and financially locked in. The result? Families delay important housing decisions until a crisis forces change. Today, we were joined by Harlan Accola, who leads the reverse mortgage team at Movement Mortgage, about a lesser-known option that may help older adults move into safer homes—without taking on new required monthly payments. The Hidden Danger: Falls at Home Falls are far more common—and costly—than most people realize. Roughly 30 million older Americans fall each year. About one in five of those falls results in serious injury, often leading to hospitalization. The direct medical costs alone total nearly $50 billion annually. But the emotional and lifestyle costs for families can be even greater. What's sobering is where these falls happen. Not in extreme situations—but in ordinary places: Stairways Bathrooms Entryways Narrow hallways These everyday features become obstacles as mobility changes. Why So Many Homes Don't Fit Aging Adults Most homes were built decades ago for young families in different stages of life. Only a small percentage include basic accessibility features such as: Step-free entries Main-floor bedrooms Main-floor bathrooms Wider doorways and hallways As a result, stairs, tubs, and tight spaces often push older adults toward assisted living or nursing homes—not because they want to move, but because their homes no longer support their safety. Why Many Families Feel “Stuck” Even when homeowners recognize their house isn't ideal anymore, they often hesitate to move. There are two major reasons: 1. Emotional Attachment This is the home where children were raised, and milestones were celebrated. Letting go isn't easy. 2. Financial Lock-In Many retirees either: Have very low mortgage rates (2–3%), or Own their homes outright They worry that selling means taking on a new mortgage payment—something they might regret later in life. So they stay…often until something goes wrong. A Little-Known Option: Reverse Mortgage for Purchase Many people assume a reverse mortgage is only for accessing equity in their current home. But there's another option: using a reverse mortgage at the point of purchase. Here's how it can work: A homeowner sells their current home. They use the proceeds to purchase a new, safer home. A reverse mortgage helps cover the difference. For example: Sell a $300,000 home. Purchase a $500,000 home. Use a $200,000 reverse mortgage for purchase. The key distinction? No required monthly mortgage payments for as long as the homeowner lives in the home. That opens the door to: Newer construction Energy-efficient homes Low-maintenance properties Better design for aging in place A Shift in Thinking: Prevention, Not Reaction One of the wisest principles in Scripture is found in Proverbs 27:12: “The prudent see danger and take refuge.” Housing decisions in later life should reflect that kind of prudence. Rather than waiting for: A fall A wheelchair A medical emergency Families can proactively ask: How can we use the housing wealth we've built to improve safety and quality of life—while we're still healthy? When purchasing a home for the “fourth quarter” of life, it shouldn't just be your best home—it should be your safest home. Stewarding Home Equity Wisely Interestingly, two-thirds of retirees still carry a mortgage. Even when downsizing, some may still need financing. A reverse mortgage for purchase can allow retirees to: Avoid required monthly payments Preserve some cash for investments or future needs Move into a safer home Maintain flexibility Like any financial tool, it isn't right for everyone. But for some families, it may provide a path forward they didn't realize existed. Moving Forward Housing is more than real estate—it's stewardship. It's about safety, dignity, and wise preparation for the season ahead. If you'd like to learn more about whether a reverse mortgage for purchase could fit your situation, you can explore your options at Movement.com/Faith. As with any major decision, seek wise counsel, pray for clarity, and take steps not just to protect your assets—but to protect your well-being. On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions: My grandfather set up 529 plans for my two older kids. If there's money left after they graduate, can I transfer it to my younger daughter? And once she's finished, could I split any remaining funds into separate accounts for each child's future family? I often hear advice to put 10% into precious metals for retirement. What's your take—and is there a biblical perspective on that? Also, in retirement, when we're living off savings, how should we think about tithing? Do we give 10% of what the nest egg produces? After caring for my mom and losing my job, I'm nearly 50, $15,000 in debt, facing eviction, and starting over with no savings. What should I prioritize first? My wife and I are newly married and plan to live full-time in an RV for ministry. We'll live on my retirement income and use the remainder for spending. Should we manage that with cash, debit, or credit?

Phase 1: Stabilization (Minutes 0–10) The “Rearrest” Window & Pathophysiology High-Risk Period: Rearrest rates reach 30% within the first minutes post-ROSC. Shock Incidence: Two-thirds of patients develop profound hypotension/shock as initial resuscitative efforts subside. Catecholamine Washout: Super-physiologic “code-dose” epinephrine (1mg IV) typically wears off within ~3 minutes post-ROSC, leading to predictable hemodynamic collapse. Secondary Injuries: Evaluate for “CPR-induced trauma” (blunt thoracic trauma, rib fractures, pneumothorax, liver/splenic lacerations). Immediate Resuscitative Actions Vascular Access: Transition rapidly from IO to reliable IV access within 1–2 minutes. Prioritize Intraosseous (IO) placement within 5 minutes if IV attempts fail; intra-arrest data suggests no significant difference in early outcomes. Vasoactive “Bridge”: Maintain a “bolus-dose” pressor at the bedside for immediate push-dose titration. Options: Phenylephrine, dilute Epinephrine, or dilute Norepinephrine (titrated to effect rather than rigid dosing). Physician-Specific Task: Arterial Line: Goal: Placement within 5 minutes of ROSC. Preferred Site: Femoral (by landmarks/blind if necessary) for speed; should be a 80 mmHg. The BOX Trial Nuance: While the BOX trial showed no difference between MAP 63 vs. 77, its cohort (Denmark) had exceptionally high survival rates (70% back to work) and short response times, which may not generalize to North American populations with lower shockable rhythm incidence. Permissive Hypertension: If the patient is “self-driving” to higher pressures, do not aggressively lower them, as this may be a physiologic demand for cerebral blood flow. Ventilation and Oxygenation PaCO2 Management: Target: High-normal to slightly hypercarbic (45–55 mmHg). Rationale: Avoid accidental hyperventilation (PaCO2

This week we dig into a viral RVTravel.com poll asking: How well built is your RV? The results surprised us—and they raise a bigger question: if so many RVers say their rigs are “well built,” why does the industry's quality reputation feel so rough… and why can't buyers easily choose truly better-built options? Then we're joined by Geneva Long, founder and CEO of Bowlus to talk about reviving a nearly-forgotten 1930s aviation-inspired aluminum travel trailer and turning it into one of the most interesting luxury RV brands on the road today. We get into what “built like an airplane” really means, why lightweight doesn't have to mean flimsy, and why Bowlus may be uniquely positioned for the future of EV towing. Plus: Abby's “black tank” story about everyday kindness (and a parking lot door ding), and Jason's take on the way people talk about travel safety in Mexico—especially Baja. *Support independent RV journalism and unlock great perks by becoming a Mile Marker

Campground prices have exploded - and the experience hasn't kept up. In this week's RV Podcast News Edition, we're calling it what it is: the Campground Quality Collapse.

Last year, Life With Old Dogs went quiet.Not because the mission changed, but because my life did.In this deeply personal return episode, I share what it was like to navigate divorce, move into a fifth-wheel RV on my newly purchased Pennsylvania farm, rebuild my life from the ground up, and continue caring for senior dogs and homeless cats who still needed me.Incontinence. Medications. Arthritic bodies. And not one of them was surrendered, displaced, or treated as disposable.In a culture where animals are often relinquished when life becomes inconvenient — during divorce, moves, financial strain, or emotional upheaval — this episode speaks to a different standard.This is an honest look at what it means to honor the responsibility you chose — even when your life is unraveling.Old dogs don't need you perfect.They need you steady.And steady is a decision.Welcome back to Life With Old DogsThis is to let the skeptics know, I'm not just talking the talk.

A month in FL at our new seasonal home with an RV garage. However, the RV spent much of the month in the paint shop getting some body work after an incident on the Alaska trip last fall. She has been restored and it ready to travel once again. As heppens when moving into new living quarters, outfitting them is a time consuming task. Home automation is coming of age, so new home gear needs to be automation compatible and Matter makes it happen. What? Well take a listen to get a better understanding of what this is about. TAir travel in the near future? Then you'll want to hear about our experiences at the airport on oiur return from Mexxico. And yes we had a run-in with Mark Zukerberg.

20 years is a long time for any profession, but especially when its one as physically demanding as working with concrete. Having made his first tandem skydive years back, Grey Milner thought it was just about the most amazing thing he'd ever experienced and was ready to go all in, but as it has a way of doing, life got in the way. It wasn't until not so long ago that he found himself back in the air on tandem number two, and just like the first, his immediate desire was to go all in. This time, getting at it was exactly what he did, and a week-long trip from Oregon to Arizona and their accelerated program found Grey going from Tandem Passenger to “A” Licensed skydiver. Now comes the really scary part… Sell the house, buy an RV and hit the road to find his way in the big little world of skydiving on his own path toward the Lunatic Fringe. It's an adventure that so many have dreamed of but never done; but it's not one that Grey is going to let pass him by.  

CardioNerds (Dr. Jenna Skowronski [Heart Failure Council Chair], Dr. Shazli Khan, and Dr. Josh Longinow) are joined by renowned leaders in the field of AHFTC (Advanced Heart Failure and Transplant Cardiology) and mechanical circulatory support, Dr. Jeff Teuteberg and Dr. Mani Daneshmand to continue the discussion of advanced heart failure therapies by taking a deep dive into the world of durable LVADs (Left Ventricular Assist Devices). In this episode, we will review the history of ventricular assist devices, the basics of LVAD function, selection criteria for LVAD therapy, and surgical nuances of LVAD implantation. Audio Editing by CardioNerds intern, Joshua Khorsandi.

Pearls There have been significant advances in the field of MCS/LVAD therapy since the first implanted LVAD in the 1960s, to the first FDA approved device in the early 2000's, to now the HM3 LVAD, with the most important change being a centrifugal flow/magnetically levitated design that led to minimized hemocompatibility-related adverse events (HRAE's) (MOMENTUM 3 trial comparing HM2 and HM3).  The REMATCH trial in 2001 was a pivotal trial for LVAD therapy, demonstrating that in a population of patients with advanced HF (70% IV inotrope dependent), LVAD therapy significantly improved survival at both 1 and 2 years as compared to medical therapy alone.    MOMENTUM 3 trial was a landmark trial for the HM3 device, showing that in a population of end stage HF patients (86% inotrope dependent, 32% INTERMACS 1-2, and 60% DT strategy), 5-year survival with HM3 was 58% and HM3 had lower HRAE's compared with HM2.  There are both patient-specific factors and surgical considerations when it comes to candidacy for LVAD therapy.  RV function prior to LVAD is a key determinant for success post-LVAD  Many patients being considered for LVAD may not have robust RV function, however, predicting RV failure after LVAD is exceedingly difficult.   In general, it doesn’t matter how bad the RV may look on imaging; we care more about the pre-LVAD hemodynamics (look at the PAPi and RA/wedge ratio).   What happens in the OR may be the most important determinant of how the RV will do with the LVAD!  Notes Notes drafted by Dr. Josh Longinow.  1. Historical background of heart pumps and LVADs  LVAD Evolution   FDA approval year  2001  2008  2012  2017  Pump  HeartMate XVE   HeartMate II  Heartware HVAD  HeartMate III  Flow/Design Features  Pulsatile Technology   Continuous flow Axial design  Continuous flow  Centrifugal design  Continuous flow   Full MagLev + Centrifugal design  The 1960's ushered in the first ‘LVADs', when the first air-powered ‘LVAD' was implanted. It kept the patient alive for four days before the patient expired.   The first generation of LVADs were pulsatile pumps   The first nationally recognized, FDA approved LVAD was the HeartMate XVE (late 1990s to early 2000s, REMATCH trial). The XVE pump used compressed air (pneumatically driven) to power the pump.   Prior to the XVE, OHT was the standard of care for patients with advanced, end-stage heart failure.   The second and third generations of LVADs were non-pulsatile, continuous flow devices and included the HVAD, HM2, and HM3 devices.   MOMENTUM 3 was a landmark trial for the HM3 device, showing that in a population of sick patients with end stage HF (86% inotrope dependent, 32% INTERMACS 1-2, and 60% DT strategy), 5-year survival with HM3 was 58% and HM3 had lower HRAE's compared with HM2.   The only pump that is currently FDA approved for implant is the HM3, although other pumps are in clinical trials (BrioVAD system, INNOVATE Trial).  2. What are LVADs, and how do they work?   In simplest terms, the LVAD is a heart pump comprised of several key mechanistic components:   Inflow cannula  Mechanical pump   Outflow cannula  Driveline  Controller/Power source  The HM3 differs from its predecessors (HM2 and HVAD) in several key ways;   HM3 is placed intrapericardial whereas the HM2 was placed pre-peritoneal.   Perhaps most importantly, the HM3 is a fully magnetically levitated, centrifugal flow pump, whereas the HM2 is an axial flow device.  Axial flow pumps are not magnetically levitated, leading to more friction produced between the ruby bearing's contact with the pump rotors, and higher rates of hemocompatibility related adverse events (HRAEs, i.e. pump thrombosis) and the HM2 was ultimately discontinued in favor of the HM3 (MOMENTUM 3 trial).  3. What do the terms ‘Destination Therapy' (DT) or ‘Bridge to Transplant' (BTT) mean when it comes to LVADs?   When LVADs first came on the stage, EVERYONE was a BTT; these early pumps weren't designed for long term use (I.e. REMATCH Trial, Heartmate XVE)  Destination therapy means the LVAD was placed in leu of transplant because there are contraindications to transplant   REMATCH trial brought about the concept of “Destination therapy”, comparing outcomes in patients (with contraindications for transplant) who received an LVAD vs optimal medical therapy  Bridge to transplant means we are placing the LVAD in a patient who may not be a transplant candidate at this moment in time (is too sick, or conversely, not sick enough), but may be down the line   Bridge to recovery is another term used when the LVAD is being placed for a patient we think may have a recoverable cardiomyopathy  4. What are some factors we should consider when assessing a patient’s candidacy for LVAD, in general, and from a surgical perspective?   Patient factors   Older age might push us towards thinking LVAD rather than transplant  In general, age > 70 is the cutoff for transplant, but this is not a hard cut off and varies institution to institution    In general, think about things that help predict recovery after a major surgery; Frailty and Nutritional status are important, we try to optimize these prior to LVAD implant   Right ventricular function remains the Achilles heel of LV support  We know that needing temporary RV support post LVAD puts you on a different survival curve than patients who don’t need RVAD support  Studies have not been able to successfully predict who will develop RV failure after LVAD implantation  What happens in the time between when the patient goes to the OR and when they get back to the ICU is an important determinant who might develop RV failure post LVAD   Surgical techniques such as implanting the HM3 in the intra-thoracic cavity, rather than intra-pericardial may help maintain LV/RV geometry to help optimize the RV post LVAD   Surgical considerations for LVAD candidacy  Small, hypertrophied LV: HM3 inflow cannula is small, but small hypertrophied ventricles tend towards chamber collapse during systole causing suction, needing to run slower with lower flow rates  Chest size/diameter: pumps have gotten so small now, that for adults, these have become less of a consideration  BMI: low BMI used to be more of a concern with the older pumps due to where they were placed, and the relative size of the pump itself, not so much now with the smaller HM 3 pumps  Calcified LV apex: would increase risk of stroke, bleeding   Driveline tunneling becomes a concern in the super obese population, higher risk for driveline infections (might tunnel these driveline's shorter, and to a less fatty region of the abdomen, could even tunnel out the thoracic cavity in the super obese to limit skin motion)    5. Is there a role for MCS (i.e. temporary LVAD such as Impella) in pre-habilitation of patients prior to LVAD surgery?   The theory of being able to improve systemic perfusion, decongest the organs, and make the patient feel better prior to surgery makes sense, but becomes problematic due to the lack of a hard end point/time for prehabilitation which might risk delays in surgery   More likely that it can lead to delay in the surgery, with less-than-optimal benefit; you don't want to prolong the wait for surgery and increase the risk for complications prior to surgery    An Impella 5.5 is currently FDA approved for 2 weeks of support, not 2 months so timing is important to keep in mind  It’s unlikely that you will take a patient and convert them from a malnourished, cachectic person in 2 weeks’ time   6. Is there a role for LVAD therapy in the younger patient population? Should we be thinking of LVAD up front for these patients, with the goal of transplanting down the line?   Recovery may be more likely in certain populations, particularly younger females with smaller LV's; in those populations, perhaps bridge to recovery should be the focus, optimizing them on GDMT etc.   The replacement of transplant, with MCS (LVAD) in young patients has become a topic of discussion, because these pumps have become better and better, with the thinking that an LVAD could bridge a patient for 10 years or so, and they could get a transplant later   It is still a big unknown, but several concerns exist  Patients who get LVADs might end up with complications that become contraindication to transplant down the line (stroke, sensitization etc)   Patients and providers are more hesitant because of the more recent iteration for the UNOS criteria for OHT listing which no longer gives patients with an uncomplicated LVAD higher priority, and therefore they could end up waiting a longer time for a heart after undergoing LVAD  References Rose EA, Gelijns AC, Moskowitz AJ, et al.
