Black patients are less likely to receive heart transplants

That can ultimately result in worse health outcomes. Adrianne Frech, an associate professor in the University of Missouri School of Health Professions, is a medical sociologist interested in addressing inequalities within the health care system. She wondered if race affected a patient’s ability to access newer versions of left ventricular assist device (LVADs), devices implanted into the chest of a patient with advanced heart failure to help pump blood throughout the body. For the new study, published in Progress in Transplantation, Frech and colleagues analyzed data from the United Network for Organ Sharing, or UNOS, spanning from 1999 to 2014 for patients who received a LVAD as a temporary “bridge” solution to their heart failure while on the waiting list to receive a permanent heart transplant.

Gasping for each breath, 60-year-old Greenwood resident Kevin Lloyd listened from his hospital bed as the doctors discussed his prognosis with his family.

Only high-flow oxygen was keeping him alive and the doctors saw little long-term hope for him, given the damaged state of his lungs. We’ve done all we can do here, the doctor said. But Debbie Lloyd, Kevin’s wife, refused to accept what she was hearing. Earlier that same day her father had succumbed to COVID-19 in a hospital bed in Florida.
