Abstract
Selected septuagenarians with advanced heart failure can derive great benefit from cardiac transplantation, although survival is inferior to that of an immediately younger sexagenarian cohort. Most of the mortality risk is seen in the first year after transplantation. A reduced incidence of rejection was observed and warrants further study.
