Anuradha Lala-Trindade (Anu Lala), MD, discusses heart team and shock team collaboration in this gathering of women in cardiovascular medicine. Rather than having all disciplines individually pursuing temporary MCS in siloed scenarios, Dr. Lala emphasizes, “we need to have group-based discussions any time temporary MCS is employed… we are stronger together, and none of us is smarter than all of us combined.” Dr. Lala is a heart failure specialist and associate professor at, Icahn School of Medicine at Mt. Sinai in New York, New York.
