Heart Transplantation in Advanced Heart Failure

Heart transplantation remains the definitive therapy for end-stage heart failure refractory to other treatments.

Key Highlights:

• Indications: Severe heart failure with poor prognosis despite maximal therapy.
• Evaluation: Multidisciplinary assessment including comorbidities and psychosocial factors.
• Surgical procedure: Orthotopic transplantation restores cardiac function.
• Post-transplant care: Immunosuppression, infection monitoring, and lifestyle management.
• Outcomes: Improved survival, functional capacity, and quality of life with careful follow-up.

Heart transplantation offers hope for patients with advanced heart failure, combining surgical expertise and lifelong care.
