ForwardPsychosocial Evaluation of Adult Cardiothoracic Transplant Candidates and Candidates for Long-term Mechanical Circulatory Support
Activity description
The psychosocial evaluation is well-recognized as an important component of the multifaceted assessment process to determine candidacy for cardiothoracic transplantation and long-term mechanical circulatory support. Due to the lack of a consensus-based set of recommendations for psychosocial assessment during the evaluation, a committee composed of international experts representing the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation (ISHLT) and collaborating societies was formed. This committee integrated expert opinion and conducted a comprehensive literature review to support the psychosocial evaluation content and process recommendations. These recommendations are designed to promote consistency across programs in the performance of the psychosocial evaluation. This session will review the recommendations for a psychosocial evaluation and identify factors that could impede recovery, compliance, and a successful postoperative period.
