Abstract
Important developments have occurred during the past 2 years in the field of heart transplantation. These include refinements in donor management, preservation, and allocation, and evaluation of immunosuppression strategies for rejection and for allograft vascular disease. Finally, long-term outcomes addressing areas of significant morbidity for patients, including renal dysfunction and cancer, have seen important advances. This contemporary review will highlight the key articles for 2012 to 2013.Entities:
