Now called the Pediatric Heart Transplant Society (PHTS), the Pediatric Heart Transplant Study Registry was established in 1993 by a group of physicians who wanted to improve the lives of children who needed a heart transplant. The primary purposes of the organization was to establish and maintain a prospective, event driven database for heart transplantation, to encourage and stimulate basic and clinical research in the field of pediatric heart transplantation, and to promote new therapeutic strategies. The ultimate goal was to improve the lives of pediatric heart transplant recipients.

This is a two-part training series designed to inform community organization leaders about what evidence is and how they can use it, what evidence-based interventions are and where they can find them, and how to select evidence-based interventions that work for them and their community.

This study is designed to determine if measurements of strength, body composition, muscle size, independence, and nutrition can be completed at a patient's pre-anesthesia testing appointment. These measurements will be used to determine a patient's baseline frailty and to ideally give predictions for the risk of postoperative complications. The measurements are all non-invasive and involve the use of a spirometer, hand grip strength tool, bioimipedance tool, ultrasound, and written questionnaire. The study will help guide future pre-anesthesia testing appointment components related to frailty.

This study aims to understand the challenges of using music therapy to support patients before and after surgery. While past research shows that music therapy can help reduce anxiety and the need for pain medications, it is not commonly used in hospitals. To explore this, researchers will interview surgeons, nurses, hospital staff, and patients to learn more about the barriers and how music therapy might be better included in surgical care.
