Popis: Despite significant progress in lengthening survival following heart transplantation (HTx) since the introduction of cyclosporin, patients who undergo this procedure do not face a normal life expectancy for their age. Information derived from a number of databases has been useful in identifying risk factors for mortality following transplantation. This chapter will review those clinical variables associated with decreased survival for heart transplant patients.
