Chronic Kidney Disease: Advancing Strategies to Prevent Progression
Chronic kidney disease (CKD), typically caused by diabetes and hypertension, affects 15% of US adults and continues to increase with the rising prevalence of these conditions. Increased health care utilization and high morbidity/mortality rates are associated with the progression of CKD to kidney failure with comorbid cardiovascular disease, anemia and bone disease. This session will examine the current state of care for CKD, including recent advancements and interventions that can slow CKD progression and preserve kidney function and strategies to optimize care pathways for managing CKD and its common comorbidities.

Helping Little Hearts: Updates in Transplantation for Congenital Heart Disease
Pediatric patients referred for heart transplant (HTx) due to congenital heart disease (CHD) are considered high-risk due to their disease complexity and their specific peritransplant surgical risks. However, there has been great improvement in pediatric CHD outcomes treated with HTx- and surgical therapies, especially with the use of ventricular assist devices (VADs). This session will review the current state of HTx for pediatric CHD, addressing issues such as mortality risk factors, waitlist mortality, mechanical-support options, and immunosuppression and antibody-mediated rejection. It will also discuss key issues for this population, including psychosocial challenges, rehabilitation goals and future expectations regarding functional outcomes.
