Surgery in the Media

Heart Transplants for Older Patients - The New York Times

A study to be published in June in the Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation shows that the oldest heart transplant patients do "quite well" but have a higher risk of infection, most likely because their immune systems are less active than younger patients, according to Dr. Mehra, the publication's editor-in-chief. Another study in the journal, published earlier this year, found that heart transplant patients 60 and older reported greater satisfaction with their quality of life, less stress and depression, and more compliance with follow-up medical regimens than younger patients.

These data were published in the latest issue of The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation. Click here to read abstract.
