The Ethics of Heart Donation After the Circulatory Determination of Death
In 2023, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) organized a workshop to identify research gap areas in organ donation after circulatory determination of death (DCDD).

Irrespective of organ donation, research opportunities include identifying which processes of withdrawal of life‐sustaining therapy offer optimum p…

Recommendations for developing effective and safe paediatric and congenital heart disease services in low-income and middle-income countries
The global burden of paediatric and congenital heart disease (PCHD) is substantial.

This framework was created by the Global Initiative for Children’s Surgery Cardiac Surgery working group in collaboration with a group of international rexperts in providing paediatric and congenital car…

Drawing on the work of Eva Feder Kittay and other care ethic…
