Epidemiology and Demographics
Reporting of transplant statistics to the Registry of the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation (ISHLT) is required in the US, but not other countries. According to The International Thoracic Organ Transplant Registry of the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation: Thirty-sixth adult heart transplantation report — 2019: [1]
- The volume of heart transplants reported to the ISHLT Registry is significantly higher owing to increased donor availability.
- Median recipient age is 55 years
- Median donor age in Europe has increased to 45 years and remains relatively stable in North America at 28 years and other countries at 31 years.
- The leading indications for transplant in adult recipients are
- non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy- 51%)
- ischemic cardiomyopathy 32%
- Post transplant survival has improved and the median survival after adult heart transplants performed between 2002 and 2009 is 12.5 years.
- Causes of death in the long term have not changed in recent years. Death due to acute graft failure is highest in the first 30 days and infectious complications is leading cause in the first year.
