This editorial highlights the unique clinical challenges, etiologies, and outcomes of heart transplantation in Brazil, discussing a new region-specific risk score for post-transplant mortality.

In contrast, there is relative paucity of data on heart transplant from other regions of the world. Disease etiologies, logistical and financial challenges, risk factors, management strategies and outcomes are different but less well studied.
