Overview
As per data from the Registry of the International Society of Heart and Lung transplantation[1], the number of reported heart transplants has increased slowly in the recent years, especially in North America.
Epidemiology and Demographics
Donor Demographics
- In the recent cohort from the ISHLT (International Registry of Heart and Lung Transplant)[1], 69% of the donors are male and the incidence of female donor to male recipient transplantation is seen less frequently than previously.
- Average donor age is 34 years whereas average donor recipient age difference is 16 years.
- The leading cause of donor death was head trauma (46%) whereas the second most common cause was stroke. Donor diabetes and hypertension is rare but increasing steadily. Average ischemia time was 3.3 hours (range 1.6 to 5.1 hours).
