Published today, Ethical Considerations for Heart Organ Allocation: Current Landscape and Future Policy Iterations, a Scientific Statement from the American Heart Association. There are 4 groups of decision-makers in transplantation. Each of these decision-makers has interests and motivations for participating in an organized allocation system, particularly in the setting of organ scarcity. ✍🏼 @KhazanieHeart @MarkDrazner @KBreathettMD @CohenProf @megfrasernp @KiranKhush1 @JRogersMD1 @laurentrubymd @P_StLaurent
