What are the survival outcomes and specific risks following orthotopic heart transplantation in patients with ischaemic cardiomyopathy?
Orthotopic heart transplantation for ischaemic cardiomyopathy yields a 1- and 2-year survival of 71.9%, but patients face an additional hazard of accelerated graft atherosclerosis.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Survival estimates after OHT in ICM may guide expectations; leaves open the contribution of accelerated graft atherosclerosis to longer-term outcomes.
Frimpong-Boateng et al. (1987) studied this question.
