SRTR supports the transplant community with analyses, in an effort to better patient results and experience. Through the evaluation of national data collected by the Organ Procurement and Transplant Network (OPTN) on transplant programs and organ procurement organizations, our program-specific reports provide wide-ranging information about transplant programs and their results. Data driven, improving patient outcomes is our number one goal. Start your search below:

Since its early days, the FHS has been committed to data sharing. In 1968, the FHS made massive data tables of FHS-collected measures freely available to outside researchers, many of whom lacked computing resources. NHLBI has continued to leverage FHS resources to spur new scientific discovery through data sharing.

Unlike other damaged organs, the heart seems mostly incapable of mending injured tissue. And that, according to leading cardiac researchers, is because the cells that compose the muscle itself, cardiac myocytes, are terminally differentiated.

Given their extreme rarity, there is little in the way of any organized effort to further research on how and why cardiac tumors arise or how best to treat them. For now, Dr. Cusimano believes, the wisest avenue to help improve outcomes is to funnel patients to centers that have experience treating patients with cardiac tumors. 781b155fdc
