A smaller number of patients have a good pump, but a bad "electrical conduction system" of the heart. This electrical system determines the rate, rhythm and sequence of contraction of the heart muscle. There are all kinds of problems that can occur with the conduction system, including complet...
Heart medicines may be needed to control your heart rate and blood pressure. Antibiotics help prevent a bacterial infection. Antirejection medicine helps prevent your body from rejecting your new heart. Diuretics help remove extra fluid that collects in your body. These are often called water pills...
How long you live after a heart transplant depends on many factors, including age, general health, and response to the transplant. Recent figures show that 80% of heart transplant patients live at least two years after surgery. The 10-year survival rate is about 56%. Nearly 85% return to ...
in the recipient with potential reactivity to donor specific antigens induce innate inflammation. The rest of the field has focused on other concepts such as ischemia reperfusion injury, ligands from dead cells, and innate immune receptors, none of which seem to really lead to ...
heart transplant rejectionimmune cell infiltrationprotein‐protein interaction networkT cellmediated rejection (TCMR) and antibody﹎ediated rejection (ABMR) are severe post‐transplantation complications for heart transplantation (HTx), whose molecular and immunological pathogenesis remains unclear. In the ...
Hi, my father is 57 years old and he is candidate for heart transplantation. He suffered from chronic heart failure since he gets Coxsackie's virus more than 8 years ago. I know how serious this operation is so I would like to know what success rate for heart transplantation is. Thank ...

Organ transplantation is an effective treatment for patients with end-stage organ failure, but immune rejection after transplantation is still one of the main factors affecting the survival rate and quality of life of patients [1,2,3]. Although the application of various immunosuppressants may provi...
Overall, there are no major differences in rejection rate between Chagas and non-Chagas HTx recipients,10 and one can speculate that conventional schemes of immunosuppressors for this special cohort of patients may be quite acceptable. Opportunistic infections seem to occur less often in Chagas ...
