COVID-19 Positive Donor Hearts May Affect Post-Transplant Survival | Mirage News https://www.miragenews.com/covid-19-positive-donor-hearts-may-affect-post-1008429/ “#HeartTransplant recipients receiving organs from active COVID-19 positive donors may have an increased risk of death at six months and one year when compared to those receiving organs from recently recovered COVID-19 patients and #COVID19 negative patients, according to a study published today in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.”

Talked to a colleague today who is #immunocompromised after a #HeartTransplant. They've been having inexplicable fatigue and muscle/joint pain for 6-8 weeks that gets worse with exercise instead of better. They were #COVIDPositive 12 weeks ago.

I mentioned #LongCOVID & they had not heard of it.

Three years into the pandemic, the recipient of an organ transplant - w/ multiple medical teams in multiple states - was unaware that COVID could cause long-term disability. No one told her.

Today is my "second birthday" (I like transplantaversary better!) 9 years ago today around 6:30 a.m. I got a call from UCLA that they had a heart for me. Many hours later I was on the way to the operating room, and under so many drugs I looked positively giddy. I was not!
