2026 HFSA/ISHLT Heart and Lung Transplant Series: The Journey of a Heart Transplant Patient

This session follows the real-world journey of a patient with advanced heart failure whose condition progresses despite guideline-directed therapy. Presented by three expert nurse speakers, the session highlights the pivotal role nurses and allied health professionals play at every stage of the transplant continuum. Starting with an in-depth patient case, the seminar explores how nurses identify therapy barriers, engage in patient-centered problem-solving, and support adherence when medical therapy fails. Faculty will then guide learners through the transition to transplant, emphasizing nursing responsibilities in evaluation, education, communication, and cross-team coordination. Post-transplant care is examined through the lens of the nurse coordinator s role in surveillance, complication prevention, medication management, and long-term patient support.
