Today's Highlights
SYMPOSIUM
27 – ONE SIZE DOES NOT FIT ALL: OBESITY IN END-STAGE HEART AND LUNG DISEASE
8:15 – 9:30 a.m. | Congress Hall, Floor 2
The worldwide prevalence of obesity nearly tripled between 1975 and 2016 and has now reached pandemic dimensions. People with obesity are less likely to be candidates for advanced heart and lung therapies, and have a higher incidence of complications after MCS and transplantation. With highly effective treatments for obesity, tools are available to address this problem. This symposium will address the effects of obesity on outcomes across all fields and strategies for weight management in clinical practices, including new medications and surgical approaches.
