Aaron's First Publication



Aaron may not want to brag about himself, but that is what I am for right?  Right.  A few days ago, Aaron was checking up on what Dr. Long, who he used to work for at LDS hospital, was doing in the way of publishing.  Much to his surprise, his paper he had worked on while he was still working with the Artificial Heart Program had finally been published!  Since there are copyright issues with me posting a copy online, you will have to e-mail me if you want to see it.  The title of his paper is: "Improving outcomes with long-term "destination" therapy using left ventricular assist devises."   The basic idea of the paper is how improve surgical outcomes in LVAD patients from the first trials that were reported in the first study.  It also talks about how much better the outcomes (aka survival) are with LVAD therapy compared to medical management of heart failure (using drugs).  (If you read it right after I posted, this is now different, I got it confused with some other research he had done... Oops, oh well.) Yea Aaron!

What illustious company you're in! (Couldn't access it from the blog but did from the email.) Hurray for you, Aaron! This has got to look great with the rest of your accomplishments! We'll celebrate next time we're in town or you're here in Vegas.
Love,
Kathy
