Article Abstract
A 67-year-old man on intense immunosuppressive therapy after heart transplantation for end-stage hypertrophic cardiomyopathy 7 years ago developed severe dyspnea and was admitted to our hospital. His serum severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 antigen test was positive, and he was diagnosed with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-related pneumonia. He was started on ventilatory management for severe respiratory failure and remdesivir for COVID-19, with careful adjustment of immunosuppressive drugs. However, unexpectedly prolonged muscle weakness necessitated transfer to a rehabilitation facility. Although the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, it is still considered a risk in post-transplant cases. Infection control is considered critical in heart transplant recipients, especially in those receiving intensified immunosuppressive drugs.

The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted many aspects of academic research, particularly for early career investigators striving for independence. This study examines geographic heterogeneity in the pandemic's impact on the publication productivity of recipients of National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute K01, K08, and K23 awards within Departments of Medicine across different states in the US using data from the National Institutes of Health RePORTER and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention COVID data tracker from 2015 to 2022. Findings indicate that while publication productivity increased steadily until 2020, it plateaued soon after.
