Background : The year 2022 marks the 30th anniversary of heart transplant service in Hong Kong (HK). In this study, we describe prevailing trends and outcomes of advanced heart failure (AHF), including heart transplantations (HTx), in HK over the past 30 years. Methods : Trends in heart failure prevalence in HK from 1993 to 2021 were analyzed based on data from the Hospital Authority Clinical Data and Reporting System. All AHF patients referred for HTx consideration between 1992 and 2021 were reviewed. The bridge-to-transplant (BTT) utilization of short-term mechanical circulatory support (ST-MCS) devices, including venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) and durable left ventricular assist devices (LVADs), from 2010 to 2021 was reviewed. Results : Overall, 237 heart transplants were performed in HK, with 10-year posttransplant and median survival of 68.1% and 18.7 years, respectively. An increase in AHF clinic referrals was correlated with increasing heart failure prevalence (R2=0.635, P |
